Moving Companies in Manhattan, MT
Manhattan sits in the Gallatin Valley, and most professional crews dispatch from Bozeman or Belgrade, roughly 15 to 30 minutes away. A standard two-person crew and truck in the area runs close to $128 an hour, with quotes ranging from $100 up to $180 or more depending on how many movers you book. A typical local move in the region totals between $488 and $4,228, depending on home size. Renting a truck yourself runs $55 to $131 for a local trip if you want to skip hiring labor.
Local Quirks
- Ask whether the hourly clock starts when the crew leaves their shop in Bozeman or Belgrade, since travel fees are common.
- Gravel driveways and long rural roads can trap a heavy truck, especially during spring thaw, so describe your driveway conditions in advance.
- Montana weather shifts fast even in late summer, so keep walkways clear and have a backup plan for sudden rain.
- Walk through every closet and shed before quoting, since underestimating your inventory can leave the crew short on truck space.

Manhattan refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.39 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.46), 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 $87,259 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Montana report $58,491. 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 Gallatin County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 54% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
