Moving Companies in Duluth, MN
Movers in Duluth charge by the hour for local jobs, typically $100 to $200 or more per hour for a two-to-three-person crew and truck, plus travel time. A small local move with two movers averages around $363.
By home size, expect roughly: studio $400–$650, one-bedroom $550–$900, two-bedroom $800–$1,300, three-bedroom $1,100–$2,000, and four-plus bedrooms $1,500–$3,000 or more.
Book as early as you can. Rates climb during high-demand stretches of the year, and travel fees stack on faster if your crew has to navigate Duluth's hills and narrow streets to reach you. Winter ice adds its own delay, which matters since the clock keeps running while a truck works its way up a steep driveway.
Heading out of town instead? A move between Duluth and the Twin Cities ranges from about $600 for a small apartment up to $4,500 or more for a large house.

Duluth refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country replaces them almost one for one. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.5 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.52), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $64,976 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Minnesota report $54,141. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 St. Louis County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 41% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
