The route
A genuine long haul at 2,226 miles from Arizona to Florida. Almost all of these move as consolidated freight: your goods share a trailer and the carrier quotes 7 to 14 days rather than a date. It is why a two-bedroom home here runs $10,017 – $13,356 instead of scaling straight with distance, and also why there is more handling and a looser schedule.

How many people move from Gilbert to Port Saint Lucie
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) estimates that about 104 people a year (±127) moved from Maricopa County, AZ, home to Gilbert, to St. Lucie County, FL, home to Port Saint Lucie. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. Too few went the other way to estimate. Movers from Maricopa County make up 0.5% of the 20,440 people a year who moved into St. Lucie County from another county or state.
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 9,255 people a year (±2,344) moving from Arizona to Florida and about 6,929 people a year (±2,734) from Florida to Arizona — a net gain for Florida of about 2,326 people a year.

Before you book Gilbert to Port Saint Lucie
Insist on a survey
Over 2,226 miles the price is driven almost entirely by weight. A quote given without a video or in-home survey is a guess that gets revised upward on loading day, and at this distance the revision is expensive.
Keep full-value protection
It is the default on an interstate move. Signing it away for released value means 60 cents per pound, about $18 for a 30 lb television, after 2,226 miles of handling.
