Factors that Affect the Cost of Moving from Minnesota to Tennessee
Moving prices can fluctuate depending on the details of your relocation. These are the most common factors that can raise or lower the cost of your move.
- Timing of your move: Costs are usually higher during peak season, with summer being the busiest time. You may also see higher pricing for weekends and for moves scheduled early or late in the month.
- Professional vs. DIY: DIY can look cheaper on paper, but it requires you to manage the packing, lifting, and planning yourself. A full-service mover like American Van Lines can be a better value for the convenience and support, since AVL takes care of the heavy lifting and keeps the process less stressful.
- Exact distance: Longer routes tend to cost more, and the exact mileage between your current home and your new one can also influence your final quote.
- Size of move: The amount you are moving matters. Larger homes and bigger loads require more crew time and more space on the truck, which typically increases the price.

When moving to Tennessee, you can expect warmer weather and plenty of sunshine, but that's not all. Here are a few other reasons people choose to call Tennessee home.
Climate
With average summer highs of 81°F in Minnesota and 88°F in Tennessee, you're heading toward warmer weather. Expect more hot days and extra sunshine, which can be a big plus if you love being outside, spending time by the pool, or stretching summer out a little longer.
Economic Opportunities
Tennessee has job opportunities across industries like manufacturing ($55 billion), professional and business services ($41.4 billion), and educational services, health care, and social assistance ($40.3 billion), which can be a plus if you're working in one of those areas.
The average income in Tennessee is $64,035, which comes in below Minnesota's average of $84,313. Still, larger TN cities such as Memphis and Clarksville often offer higher pay than the state average.
Tennessee's average college graduation rate is 30.48%, and some of the state's best-known universities are Vanderbilt University, The University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and The University of Tennessee at Martin.
Demographic Info
Tennessee has 7,126,489 residents, making it more populous than Minnesota, which has 5,737,915. The state's population is 49% male and 51% female. Tennessee's crime index is 29.24, which reflects the number of crimes per 1,000 residents.
Fun & Recreation
Whether you're in Memphis, Clarksville, and Nashville or anywhere in between, Tennessee has no shortage of things to do. Get outside at places like Bays Mountain Park & Planetarium, Bicentennial Greenbelt Park, and Chimneys Picnic Area, then switch it up with arts and culture spots like Titanic Museum Attraction, Graceland, and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
Sports enthusiasts can also cheer on Memphis Grizzlies Basketball (NBA), Nashville Predators Hockey (NHL), and Nashville SC (MLS). For a taste of what the state has to offer, start with attractions like The Smokies: The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Elvis Presley's Graceland, and Grand Ole Opry House and Opry Museum.

Tips for Moving From Minnesota to Tennessee
- Measure before you move. Check doorways, stairwells, and tight corners, then measure large furniture so you know what will fit in your new place in Tennessee.
- Keep important paperwork together. Store leases, moving documents, IDs, and anything you'll need on arrival in one labeled folder you carry with you.
- Use towels and linens as padding. Wrap fragile items with what you already own to save money on packing supplies and protect your belongings.
- Plan for arrival day. Confirm utility setup, parking rules, and elevator reservations ahead of time so move-in goes smoothly.
