How many people move from Augusta to Cincinnati
The county-to-county table of the Census Bureau's American Community Survey (2016–2020) has no estimate for Richmond County, GA to Hamilton County, OH, but the wider metro table does: about 58 people a year (±92) moved from the Augusta-Richmond County, GA-SC metro area to the Cincinnati, OH-KY-IN metro area. The margin of error is as large as the estimate, so read it as a handful of households rather than a count. The other way: about 20 people a year (±28).
At state level, the 2024 survey counts about 6,094 people a year (±2,030) moving from Georgia to Ohio and about 5,300 people a year (±1,570) from Ohio to Georgia — a net gain for Ohio of about 794 people a year.

Rules that apply to this move

See binding vs non-binding estimates and valuation explained.
Before you book Augusta to Cincinnati
Ask: dedicated or consolidated?
This is the distance where carriers split. A dedicated truck costs more and delivers on a date; a consolidated load costs less and delivers in a window. Decide which you are buying before you compare prices.
Get it binding or not-to-exceed
