Moving costs in Bend
A standard two-person crew and truck for a local move runs $110 to $165 per hour, with a typical two- to three-bedroom local move totaling $1,000 to $2,500 depending on packing time, stairs, and heavy items. Moves of fifty miles or more are priced by weight and distance instead, often ranging from $3,400 to $6,500 or more for a mid-sized household.
Things to plan for
For local hourly jobs, ask exactly when billing begins and ends, since some crews charge from the moment they leave their office rather than when they pull up outside your home. Rates spike and trucks book out weeks ahead during the busy late spring through early autumn stretch, while moving on a weekday or in the off-season can bring the bill down noticeably. Get any quote in writing, ideally binding or not-to-exceed, so the final cost cannot climb past what you agreed to. Standard included liability is minimal, covering only about sixty cents per pound per item, so a thirty-pound television is worth just eighteen dollars in a claim unless you add fuller protection. Tight downtown streets or a snowy, sloped driveway can also mean a shuttle or long-carry fee if the truck cannot reach your door.

Bend refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $118,547 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Oregon report $99,886. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Deschutes County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 33% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
