The Census count runs both ways. In ACS 2024, 13,503 people moved from Arizona to Texas, with a margin of plus or minus 3,464. 10,306 people moved from Texas to Arizona in that same release. Read them as headcounts for the year. They sit next to price and tax facts, which are separate from the move count.
Living costs and the wage tax. BEA price parity for 2024 sets the US at 100. Arizona is 100.7 and Texas is 97.1. Arizona taxes wages. Texas does not tax wages. This page does not give a rate. The parity figures and the wage tax difference are state facts you can set beside the headcount.
What the job looks like

The common run is a long drive. The most common trip in our file is Phoenix to San Antonio, 981 miles, about 16 hours of driving. Days on the road for the shipment follow the delivery window on the order for service. The job is priced by weight and miles. The couch is not a carry-on.
Prices in a small sample. This lane has a small sample, 36 reviews in our file for this run. The median reported price is $4,093 across 36 priced reviews, and the middle half runs from $2,500 to $8,300. Those prices mix home sizes and distances, so use the median as the midpoint of reports.
What goes wrong in the file. Of those reviews, 39% mention damage and 6% mention a delay or a no-show. A smaller sample means a few writeups can swing either share. Ask how damage claims and the delivery window are written before you set a bid next to the median.
Before you book
An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority.
Confirm USDOT and authority. An interstate household move needs a mover with an active USDOT number and FMCSA household-goods authority. Look the number up in the license lookup before you send money. Haulest is not a carrier, so the number has to belong to the mover you hire.
Binding, or the 110 percent ceiling. Long-distance moves are priced by weight and miles. Read a moving estimate to see if it is binding or not-to-exceed. On a non-binding estimate the mover must deliver on payment of 110 percent of the estimate. The 110 percent rule is the short version of that duty.
Window and deposit in writing. Delivery is a window set on the order for service, so get that window in writing before you book. Deposit terms belong in the same paperwork. See how a deposit should be described before you pay one. A spoken date is a weak stand-in for a line on the order.
