Three Movers has published a new residential vs commercial moving statistics report that captures how Americans relocate across the United States. The report reveals how residential movers and commercial movers diverge on timing, distance, and cost-driving complexity. These findings give readers a clearer way to compare enterprise moving support needs against household relocation priorities.
To frame the scale of the market, the report estimates that approximately 27.1 million Americans move each year, representing about 8.4% of the U.S. population. As a result, demand continues to rise for nationwide moving solutions as customers weigh relocation options across both local and long-distance needs.
With that context established, the report breaks down how overall movement divides across key segments. Residential moves account for roughly 44% of relocations, while commercial and corporate moves represent about 38% of overall moving activity. Military and government relocations make up much of the remaining share, showing how relocation demand spans multiple sectors and planning priorities for residential movers and commercial movers.
“Our latest report helps clarify the real differences between moving a home and relocating a business,” said a company spokesperson. “These residential vs commercial moving statistics show that residential movers often plan around family schedules and seasonal demand, while commercial movers frequently prioritize efficiency, timing, and minimizing disruption.”
One of the strongest differences appears in cost. The report states that local residential moves generally range from $800 to $2,500, while long-distance residential moves can range from $2,000 to $8,000 or more. Commercial moves often involve higher cost ranges as projects increase in size, with small office moves typically ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, mid-size office moves from $5,000 to $15,000, and large office relocations exceeding $20,000 to $30,000 or more. For customers who want a clearer planning baseline, Three Movers also provides tools to help estimate moving costs based on common pricing factors.
Beyond pricing, distance trends show how frequently Americans relocate close to home. The report states that about 59% of moves occur within the same county, while roughly 24% involve moving to a different county within the same state. Interstate moves represent approximately 15% of relocations, reinforcing why long-distance planning remains a major factor for many customers.
Seasonal timing is one of the most consistent forces behind relocation demand nationwide. The report states that around 70% of moves occur between April and September, with peak activity commonly occurring during the summer months. Three Movers brings clarity to this pressure window by translating the report’s findings into planning insight and enterprise moving support that strengthens scheduling control and execution.
