What our corridor data shows about moving out of St. Louis
Statistics computed across every corridor we price for this city, not collected quotes or survey data.
- Median modeled corridorDerived
- $5,400
- Rank all 31 outbound corridors by midpoint and the middle one lands at $5,400, on a lane of 1,000 miles. That is the centre of this page, not a quote for your move.
- Middle half of the setDerived
- $4,900–$7,000
- Cut the tails off this cohort and the remaining half models $4,900 to $7,000. Where your own corridor lands inside that band depends far more on distance than on the St. Louis end of the move.
- Cost per extra 100 milesDerived
- $280 per 100 miles
- Fitting midpoint against distance across this cohort, each additional 100 miles adds about $280 to a 3-bedroom estimate out of St. Louis. The slope, not the city, is what separates the cheap end of this page from the expensive end.
- Per-mile efficiencyDerived
- $5.68 vs $4.58 per mile
- The shorter lanes here carry $5.68 per mile; past 1,000 miles that median drops to $4.58. The rate curve bends downward with distance, which is why per-mile comparisons across unequal lanes mislead.
- Market assumption effectAssumption
- −$50
- Holding distance at the cohort median, the St. Louis labor assumption alone moves a 3-bedroom midpoint by $50 against a national-baseline market. It is an assumption we state openly rather than a measured market figure.

Moving out of St. Louis: common questions
How much does it cost to move out of St. Louis?
A 3-bedroom move out of St. Louis is estimated at $4,700–$6,300 on a median corridor of about 1,000 miles. We price 31 such corridors, spanning 315 to 1,985 miles, and corridor length is the largest single input. The estimate is model output and no moving company has priced this shipment yet.
Does St. Louis itself make the move more expensive?
Our model prices crew service at each end with a per-market labor index. St. Louis sits about 6% below the baseline, so the same corridor priced with a neutral market models $4,750–$6,350 instead.
How much does a smaller home change the estimate?
A studio shipment on the same median corridor models $1,650–$2,250 against $4,700–$6,300 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 $5,300–$7,050 against $4,700–$6,300 off-peak. October through April carry no seasonal premium in the model, and mid-month weekdays face the least crew competition.
