How do I handle base access and security for moving trucks at the Air Force Academy?
The Air Force Academy forms a secured federal military enclave next to Colorado Springs. Commercial moving trucks and crews need pre-clearance, visitor passes, and specific routing through gates, often via visitor centers. Select providers experienced with military base access can manage required driver documents and inspections.
What effects does the high altitude have on moving equipment and operations?
The site sits at over 7,000 feet elevation. Trucks may lose noticeable horsepower on I-25 or base roads during DIY moves. Sudden wind gusts from the Rampart Range can turn routine loading into a challenging task.
What are key tips to avoid unexpected costs and plan around peak times?
Schedule away from Academy graduation or major cadet-parent weekends when traffic and lodging fill up. Summer months bring rate increases and limited slots. Always ask about extras for long carries, stairs, or awkward items and insist on a written not-to-exceed quote.

Air Force Academy 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 (1.8 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.84), 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 $66,889 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Colorado report $61,905. 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 El Paso County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 28% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
