What to watch for
Princeton's steep driveways and tight corners can trigger long-carry or stair fees if the truck can't park close to your door, so mention your property layout when getting a quote. Basic liability coverage is minimal, around 60 cents per pound per item, so ask about Full Value Protection for anything valuable. Walk through every room before estimating — vague guesses lead to surprise charges — and pack a box of essentials to keep with you rather than loading it onto the truck. Timing matters too: moving at the end of the month, during peak summer, or on a weekend tends to cost more than a mid-week, mid-month booking.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Mercer County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 66% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
