Island-Specific Snags
Tybee connects to the mainland by a single bridge on Route 80 - an accident or a busy beach weekend can stall traffic completely and burn through billed hours while your truck sits still, so an early weekday move avoids it. Streets near many older beach cottages are narrow and sandy, and a full-size truck may not fit down them; tell your mover about your street and parking situation ahead of time so they can plan a shuttle if needed. Many homes sit elevated on pilings because of flood zones, meaning every box goes up an outdoor staircase - expect that to slow the crew down. Salt air and humidity can damage electronics, leather, and wood left exposed too long, so wrap moisture-sensitive items in plastic. Check whether your street or condo association requires a permit for a parked moving truck. The movers listed below serve the Savannah and Tybee area.

Tybee Island 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 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.
