What's Driving Residential Moving Demand in Michigan
Detroit's population grew in 2023 for the first time since 1957, adding 1,852 residents, and the city followed that with an even larger gain of 6,791 residents in 2024, the biggest increase of any city in Michigan. That reversal, after 66 straight years of decline, means real households are buying and moving into homes across Detroit's neighborhoods again rather than leaving them vacant, a fundamentally different situation than the city has seen in living memory for most residents. Grand Rapids added another 1,847 residents the same year, showing the growth isn't confined to one city. Every one of those households needs a residential move, whether they're buying their first Detroit bungalow or relocating from a Michigan suburb into a city that's finally growing again.
Licensing in Michigan: Michigan requires anyone operating as an intrastate household goods carrier to obtain CVED Authority (intrastate operating authority) from the Michigan State Police's Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division before moving a single load, in addition to registering the business with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs and holding a USDOT number. Household goods carriers must purchase and display CVED decals on every truck and renew their authority annually during the October 1 to December 1 renewal window.
