Mountain Move Tips
- Narrow and steep streets may require a smaller shuttle truck instead of a full 26-foot moving truck.
- Lower air pressure at high altitude calls for careful handling of sealed items, double-paned windows, and gas appliances, with potentially longer times for stair carries.
- Sudden weather changes necessitate clear morning scheduling and heavy-duty plastic wrap for protection.
- Always confirm if quotes include stairs fees, long-carry fees, and fuel surcharges for steep climbs.
- Check Colorado DORA registration for licensing and insurance.

Cripple Creek 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 (1.74 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.7), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Households arriving from another state report $83,479 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Colorado report $76,664. 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 Teller County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 60% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
