Amarillo is located in Texas, which has a relatively high utility cost compared to other states. Texas ranks 10th out of all states based on a ranking from 1 to 50 (1 is the most expensive state for utility costs). In 2021, Texas ranked 22nd, so it’s getting more expensive over time.2
Utilities tend to cost more for Texans because of extreme weather conditions, a growing population and a deregulated electric market.
Interstate moving is pricey, but the price you’ll pay will depend on which state you’re coming from and where you’re going. The time of year and amount of help you need will also make a difference. Interstate Moving & Relocation Group states that an average interstate move costs between $500 and $5,000 depending on location.3 A cheaper alternative could be to use a container service or to move by hiring a moving van and doing your own self-service move.
