Bakersfield has been growing constantly in recent years. The population of Bakersfield increased 40 percent between 2000 and 2010, and nearly 40,000 residents moved to the city between 2010 and 2016.
There are many reasons people are choosing to move to Bakersfield. While short-term trends have caused negative migration numbers, demographers forecast that Kern County will be the second- or third-fastest growing county in California in the coming years. Bakersfield is one of California’s most affordable housing markets, which will contribute to an expanding population.
Whether you’re moving to Bakersfield to take advantage of the growing opportunities or from Bakersfield for personal or professional reasons, the cost of the move will be one of your first considerations.
State-to-state moves start at about $1,000 and can be as expensive as $20,000 if you are moving a large volume of items cross-country. In California, moving costs range from $800 to $5,000. Moving companies in Bakersfield charge an average rate of $50 to $100 per hour. Ask the moving company for an estimate, and be aware of extra fees for weight and other factors.
When you’re shopping for moving quotes, factors that will affect the price include:
The summer is the busiest time for movers, so choosing to move during this time can increase your moving costs. Moving to Bakersfield in the winter months is less expensive but might pose a challenge due to rainstorms that can cause flooding in the city.

While some moving companies specialize in local moves, others provide interstate service. Interstate movers must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and display a Department of Transportation number. The State of California requires all movers to have a license, and the California Bureau of Household Goods and Services gives tips on researching moving companies and allows customers to check licenses on their website.
