Emmett sits off the main Treasure Valley corridor, so companies based in Boise, Meridian, or Nampa often bill for the drive out and back — ask whether that travel time is separate from your quoted rate. Summer heat above 90 or 100 degrees also slows crews down, which can pad an hourly bill. Always push for a binding, not-to-exceed estimate rather than a rough guess, and pack your own box of essentials instead of letting it get buried in the truck. Standard tipping runs $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or $20 to $50 flat per person.

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 Gem County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 48% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
