Moving Companies in Gulfport, MS
Moving costs along the Gulfport and Mississippi Gulf Coast area scale mainly with home size and crew size. The table below covers typical local ranges; a full-service crew generally runs $90 to $150 or more per hour depending on whether you need two movers or four.
If you've already rented your own truck and just need help loading or unloading it, hiring labor-only help typically costs meaningfully less than a full crew, see the table below for the going hourly rate. Long-distance moves out of the Gulfport area price differently, based on total weight and distance rather than an hourly rate, so ask for a written estimate broken out by weight if you're relocating out of state.
| Home Size | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Studio / 1-Bedroom | $400 - $1,200 |
| 2-3 Bedroom Home | $1,200 - $2,500 |
| 4+ Bedroom Home | $2,500 - $5,000+ |

Gulfport refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country more than replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.88 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.88), 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 $57,029 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Mississippi report $44,812. 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 Harrison County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 49% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
