Moving costs in Gresham
Local moves within the Gresham and Portland metro area are billed hourly, averaging around $123 per hour for a standard truck and two-person crew. A studio or one-bedroom move usually takes two to four hours and costs $400 to $900. A two-bedroom runs $900 to $1,800 over four to seven hours, a three-bedroom runs $1,700 to $3,000 over six to nine hours, and a four-bedroom-plus home can reach $2,800 to $5,000 or more. If you rent your own truck and just need loading or unloading help, labor-only rates typically total $320 to $440 for a smaller home.
What can add to the bill
A long carry from the truck to your door, or extra flights of stairs, often triggers an added charge. Confirm your mover holds a valid Oregon Department of Transportation certificate, since intrastate movers are required to register. Insist on a binding or not-to-exceed estimate rather than a verbal quote, since hourly totals can add up quickly if traffic or a slow pack job holds up the crew. Standard included coverage is minimal, around sixty cents per pound per item, so a twenty-pound, $1,000 television would only be worth about $12 in a claim. Customary tipping runs about $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15 to 20 percent of the total bill split among the crew.

Gresham refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $73,173 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Oregon report $62,210. 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 Multnomah County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
