Planning a Move in Security-Widefield, CO
What does a local move cost by home size?
For a studio or one-bedroom apartment, expect to pay between $425 and $1,150 total, usually involving a two-person crew for two to four hours. A two-bedroom home or apartment typically runs $450 to $1,800 with a three-person crew over three to six hours. Moving a three- to four-bedroom house generally starts at $1,200 and can exceed $3,400, often taking a full day with a crew of four.
What are hourly labor rates and billing quirks?
Hourly rates for moving labor generally span $150 to $250+ per hour depending on crew size and the company. Many local operations bill for travel time, sometimes as a double drive time or flat fee, measuring the trip from their headquarters to your Security-Widefield location and back. Ask up front how that is calculated before you commit.
What local conditions affect timing and fees?
Wind can be a real factor here, especially in spring and fall, making large or lightweight items harder to handle and potentially slowing the crew. Some neighborhoods have HOA rules about street parking or narrow roads that complicate access for a 26-foot truck. A longer carry from the door to the truck adds time to an hourly bill, so checking street width and parking rules ahead of time is worth doing.
Should I book full-service or labor-only help?
If budget is the top concern, hiring labor-only crews to load and unload a rental truck or portable storage container can cut transport fees substantially. Just confirm the payment schedule before moving day, since some companies require payment authorization or completion before they unload the last items.

Security Widefield 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.
