Who makes this move
The ACS 2024 estimate is 10,467, with a margin of plus or minus 3,471.
Census puts the Texas to Maryland stream at 10,467 people. The ACS 2024 estimate is 10,467, with a margin of plus or minus 3,471. The reverse count, Maryland to Texas, is 9,407. Those two figures are the full story the survey gives on who crossed between the states.
Living costs and wage tax sit on opposite sides of this pair. BEA price parity for 2024, US equal to 100, reads 97.1 for Texas and 105.0 for Maryland. Texas does not tax wages. Maryland taxes wages. This page does not quote a rate for either state.
What the job looks like
52% of the reviews mention damage, and 12% mention a delay or a no-show.
The most common run in our file is San Antonio to Rockville. That trip covers 1,605 miles and about 29 hours of driving. Days on the road follow the order, inside a delivery window. Long distance household goods are priced by weight and miles, so home size changes the bill on this same pair.
The review file for this lane is small, at 25 reviews. Median reported price is $4,785 across 25 priced reviews, with the middle half from $3,452 to $6,988. Those prices mix home sizes and distances. 52% of the reviews mention damage, and 12% mention a delay or a no-show.
Before you book
A handshake date is a nice story and a weak document.
Confirm an active USDOT number and household goods authority before you sign. Interstate moves of household goods require a mover with both, which you can check in the license lookup. Ask for a binding estimate or a not-to-exceed estimate, and read the line items with this estimate guide.
On a non-binding estimate, delivery is owed once you pay 110 percent of that estimate. That 110 percent rule is the ceiling for what the mover can demand before unloading. Get the delivery window in writing on the order. A handshake date is a nice story and a weak document. Deposit terms belong in the same paperwork; the deposit guide spells out what to look for before you pay.
