BLVD Moving Tips for Imperial
Moving in Imperial comes with its own set of challenges—traffic, parking, narrow streets, and busy schedules. But with the right planning, your move can be smooth and stress-free. Here are a few quick tips from the BLVD Moving team:
Plan Ahead
Imperial is always on the move, and moving companies book up fast, especially at the end of the month or on weekends. We recommend scheduling your move at least 3–4 weeks in advance.
Reserve Parking in Advance
Parking in Imperial can be tricky, especially in high-traffic neighborhoods or apartment complexes. If possible, arrange for a designated spot for the moving truck to save time and avoid extra hassle.
Declutter Before You Pack
The fewer items you move, the easier (and more affordable) your relocation will be. Take some time to sort through your belongings, donate what you no longer need, and lighten the load before moving day.
Label Your Boxes Clearly
Unpacking is significantly easier when boxes are clearly labeled by room and their contents. It also helps our movers know exactly where to place each box in your new home.
Plan Around Traffic
We all know traffic can be unpredictable. Our experienced team maps out the best routes and considers peak traffic hours to help avoid delays. Still, the earlier you start your move, the smoother the process tends to be.

Moving to Imperial? Here’s What to Know
So, you’re thinking about packing up and heading to a new place? But before you load up the truck, let’s talk about what it’s really like to move to Imperial.
Imperial County’s population stands at approximately 179,300, making it one of the least populous counties in Southern California—and experiencing a slight decline of around 0.14% from the year before. Despite modest growth, the region remains a distinct, desert-sunny community with strong cross-border ties to Mexico.
- Imperial enjoys over 350 sunny days per year, receiving among the highest annual sunshine in the U.S.
- The average one way commute time is about 22 minutes.
- Few languages beyond English and Spanish dominate: around 75% of households speak Spanishat home, and 85% of residents are U.S. citizens, reflecting strong Latino cultural presence.
Imperial County’s economy is heavily rooted in agriculture, government, and retail. While agriculture remains a key employer, particularly seasonal work, government (local, state, federal) and retail make up roughly 70% of all jobs. Unemployment remains high, averaging around 17% in 2023, though modest job growth (about 0.4% annually from 2024 to 2028) is forecast.
- Median household income is approximately $56,400/year.
- Major industries are agriculture (e.g. lettuce, carrots, sugar beets), public administration (including border patrol and prisons), and retail/service in El Centro and Brawley.
- Emerging sectors are renewable energy (solar, geothermal) and cross-border logistics, plus occasional film shoots in local dunes.
Living costs here are far below coastal California but modestly above the U.S. average. Recent figures show a cost-of-living index around 91 (where 100 is U.S. average). Some estimates place cost of living about 12% higher than national average, yet still roughly 20% below typical California levels.
- The median home value is about $279,500 in 2024, up 9% year over year.
- The Homeownership rate is 8%.
- Estimated median rent: likely in the range of $1,200–1,500/month, based on overall cost indexes (lower than CA average).
- Property tax rate: roughly 0.7–0.8%, similar to broader California norms.
Imperial County has limited public transportation, so most residents depend on their cars to get around. If you’re planning to live here, expect to drive. About 79% of residents commute solo, and the average one-way commute is around 22 minutes. Gas prices tend to be lower than in larger California cities but still sit above the national average.
Imperial County blends desert landscapes with deep-rooted Mexican-American culture. You’ll find local markets, authentic food, and easy access to the outdoors. Residents spend weekends exploring the Salton Sea, hiking sand dunes, or attending seasonal festivals. Though nightlife is limited, the community hosts cultural events and even sees the occasional film production in the nearby desert.
