Ownership is the first thing the census says about Milliken: close to nine in ten homes here are owner-occupied. That pulls moving day away from the first-of-the-month lease calendar and towards closing dates, and it usually means a household that has been in place a while. The housing backs it up, since detached houses are the majority, and so does household size, which runs above three people. A Milliken job therefore tends to be a basement, a garage and a full set of rooms rather than one elevator run.
What that takes and what it costs is set out below, from the ring of northeast Toronto communities Milliken sits inside.
Moving costs around Milliken, by the numbers
Milliken's own completed jobs sit under the publishing floor, so the numbers above describe its surroundings: 43 northeast Toronto communities with 88 residential moves between them. Banbury-Don Mills is the heaviest of them at 18 moves, ahead of Thorncliffe Park at 11 and Bayview Village at 10. Half of those 88 bills fell between $488 and $1,250 around a $662 median with tax, and half the days between 3 and 5.25 hours around a 3 hour median. 77% graded small. Read that share with the local housing in mind: 51% of Milliken homes are detached and households hold 3.2 people.

How much does a move in Milliken cost?
$662 with tax is the middle of the 88 residential moves recorded in the northeast Toronto communities around Milliken, with half of them between $488 and $1,250. That pool carries a lot of apartment work. Here the typical home is a detached house with 3.2 people in it, and at an hourly rate a fuller house means more hours.
-
What makes a Milliken move a long one?
Volume, usually. 51% of homes here are single-detached and 88% are owned, so the jobs are settled family households rather than rental turnovers, and the garage, the basement and the shed are all part of the count. The half hour spent walking through those before the booking is what keeps the day on plan.
-
How long does a move in Milliken take?
The middle job in the pooled set ran 3 hours on site, with half of them between 3 and 5.25 hours and 77% graded small. Those figures are the surrounding communities rather than this one. A quarter of homes here are in a building of five storeys or more, where the elevator booking sets the pace, and the rest are at street level.
-
Which neighbourhoods are the Milliken figures based on?
Forty-three northeast Toronto communities that adjoin one another, Milliken included, and the 88 completed residential moves between them. Eighteen of those came from Banbury-Don Mills, eleven from Thorncliffe Park and ten from Bayview Village, with Don Valley Village, North Toronto and Henry Farm below them. A median for Milliken alone would rest on too few jobs to publish.
-
Is there a busier month for moving in Milliken?
August, at 18 completed moves across the surrounding communities, then June at 11 and March at 9. Price does not follow that curve, because the rate is hourly in every month. With 88% of homes here owned, the date usually comes out of a closing rather than out of a preference.

Milliken neighbourhood guide for moving day
Two figures here do most to shape a Milliken moving day. The first is size: households run above three people and the majority of homes are detached, which usually means more furniture and more boxes than the 3-hour class median covers, so it is worth being honest about crew size when you book. The second is the curb. Toronto publishes nothing that settles whether a truck parked outside a house needs a permit; its street occupation permit names moving containers only, so a call to 311 about your own street is the reliable version. With so much of the neighbourhood owner-occupied, there is usually notice enough to make it.

Toronto publishes no page that covers a moving truck at the curb, and its Street Occupation Permit names moving containers only. Confirm with 311 whether your street needs a permit.

Figures come from Cactusās own completed residential moves (business and high-frequency accounts excluded) and from official municipal open data; they are medians and quartiles, never averages, every published figure rests on at least five moves, percentages are rounded, and all-time counts are floors because some older pickup and drop-off addresses were never geocoded.

A short poetic piece. It's outrageous, outrageously grand! With Alexei Y. 's beard and Nikita Ch. 's smooth hand, They whisked my world from old house to new, Not a scratch on a lamp, not a wrinkle in view.
