Savannah's historic squares add a wrinkle large trucks can't always navigate — downtown moves sometimes need a shuttle van, and a city parking permit, so ask ahead if you live in or near the historic district. Georgia law also caps what a non-binding estimate can demand at delivery: no more than 110% of the quoted price, with any remainder payable within 30 days, so clarify whether your quote is binding before you sign anything. Coastal humidity is worth planning around too — wrap electronics, wood veneer furniture, and canvas art to avoid moisture damage if items sit in an unventilated truck or storage unit for long. Before booking, verify the company's Georgia Department of Public Safety number rather than relying on reviews alone, since a real registration number is a better signal than star ratings.

Savannah 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 $73,073 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Georgia report $57,122. 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 Chatham County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 40% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
