Traffic and building rules
Dunwoody sits along I-285 and GA-400, so rush hour (roughly 7:00-9:30 a.m. and 4:00-7:00 p.m.) can add paid idle time to an hourly move — an 8 a.m. start usually clears most of the congestion. Many townhomes and high-rises near Perimeter Center restrict moving hours, often barring Sundays or moves after 5 p.m., require an elevator reservation, or demand a certificate of insurance from your mover, so check with the property manager beforehand.
Fees and estimates
Ask whether the quoted travel fee, covering the drive from the company's warehouse to your home and back, is written into the estimate — it can otherwise add an unplanned hour or two to your bill. Standard included coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound, $1,000 TV would net just $18 if it's dropped; ask about full value protection if you own anything valuable.

Dunwoody 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.

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 DeKalb County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 13% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
