What our corridor data shows about moving out of New York
Statistics computed across every corridor we price for this city, not collected quotes or survey data.
- Median modeled corridorDerived
- $6,100
- Across the 69 outbound corridors priced here, the median 3-bedroom midpoint is $6,100 at a median distance of 1,185 miles. Half of the corridor set is modeled below that figure.
- Middle half of the setDerived
- $5,050–$8,300
- The interquartile band runs $5,050 to $8,300: a quarter of these corridors model below the low figure and a quarter above the high one. A single New York average would sit inside that band and describe almost none of them.
- Cost per extra 100 milesDerived
- $265 per 100 miles
- Fitting midpoint against distance across this cohort, each additional 100 miles adds about $265 to a 3-bedroom estimate out of New York. Distance therefore explains most of the ordering you see in the table below.
- Per-mile efficiencyDerived
- $6.75 vs $4.12 per mile
- The shorter lanes here carry $6.75 per mile; past 1,000 miles that median drops to $4.12. Fixed loading and handling work is spread over more distance on the long lanes, so the total rises while the rate falls.
- Market assumption effectAssumption
- +$150
- Holding distance at the cohort median, the New York labor assumption alone moves a 3-bedroom midpoint by $150 against a national-baseline market. Treat it as a model input we publish, not as evidence about local wages.

Moving out of New York: common questions
How much does it cost to move out of New York?
A 3-bedroom move out of New York is estimated at $5,550–$7,400 on a median corridor of about 1,185 miles. We price 69 such corridors, spanning 210 to 2,925 miles, and corridor length is the largest single input. The figure is produced by our published pricing model, not quoted by a carrier.
Does New York itself make the move more expensive?
Our model prices crew service at each end with a per-market labor index. New York sits about 22% above the baseline, so the same corridor priced with a neutral market models $5,400–$7,200 instead.
How much does a smaller home change the estimate?
A studio shipment on the same median corridor models $1,950–$2,600 against $5,550–$7,400 for a 3-bedroom home. Weight, not room count, is what the distance rate multiplies.
When is the cheapest time to book?
A July move on this median corridor models $6,200–$8,250 against $5,550–$7,400 off-peak. October through April carry no seasonal premium in the model, and mid-month weekdays face the least crew competition.
