When you book matters
Rates climb during peak windows — the end of the month, weekends, summer, and around local festival season. Booking a mid-week date sometime between October and April is the simplest way to dodge the busiest, priciest slots. If your schedule is flexible, avoiding month-end and weekend bookings alone can trim the bill.

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 East Baton Rouge Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 26% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
