Moving costs in LaPlace
Local moves in the River Parishes area are billed hourly, with pricing built around crew size and hours on site.
| Home size | Typical local total |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-bedroom | $300-$600 |
| 2-3 bedrooms | $800-$2,200 |
| 4+ bedrooms | $2,500-$4,700+ |
The hourly rate averages $135 to $142 for a two- to three-person crew and a truck. Larger homes take longer and sometimes need a second crew, which is why the total climbs faster than the room count alone suggests.

Long-distance pricing drops the hourly model entirely, based instead on the weight of your belongings and the mileage traveled. Expect a range from about $2,500 to $6,000 or more, well above what a comparable local move would cost.

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. John the Baptist Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
