Moving Companies in Dallas, OR
For a local move in and around Dallas, Oregon — including nearby Polk, Marion, or Benton County — professional movers almost always bill by the hour rather than a flat rate.
A standard two-mover crew with a truck typically runs $130 to $180 per hour, scaling to $200 to $250 or more per hour once a third mover joins. A small apartment or two-bedroom home generally totals $400 to $1,500, while a larger three-to-four-bedroom house can reach $1,600 to $3,000 or more depending on packing needs and volume. Most companies also apply a 2-to-3-hour minimum plus a separate travel or fuel charge.
A few things are easy to miss when comparing quotes. Billing often starts the moment a truck leaves its home base, so ask exactly where and when the clock starts if the company is not local to Dallas. Basic liability coverage required by the state is minimal — around 60 cents per pound per item — so a broken television could be worth far less in a claim than its real price. Heavy or oversized items like pianos, safes, or hot tubs often carry a separate surcharge if you do not flag them ahead of time, and rainy Willamette Valley weather can slow down loading enough to stretch an hourly bill.
Weighing crew size, minimums, and these add-on fees together gives a clearer picture than the hourly rate alone, and comparing a few local options below is the fastest way to see how they stack up.

Dallas refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.69 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.67), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $67,120 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Oregon report $56,769. 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 Polk County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 29% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
