Virginia Beach city is a well-served origin market for interstate moving, with roughly 453,649 residents concentrated around Virginia Beach across 1 place the Census records here.

What shapes an outbound move from Virginia Beach city
Virginia Beach city's population has held roughly flat since 2020, so inbound and outbound moves are broadly in balance. That is the easiest condition to book in: crews are not saturated by one direction, and off-peak dates are widely available.
Virginia Beach city is Virginia's 3rd-largest county of 133, holding roughly 5% of the state's residents. That is enough weight for agents to keep crews based locally rather than dispatching them in.
The largest county bordering Virginia Beach city is Chesapeake city, with 253,886 residents, smaller than this one, so this county tends to be the dispatch point for the pair. That move stays inside Virginia and is intrastate.
Virginia Beach city sits on the Virginia state line, bordering North Carolina. That matters more than it sounds: a move of twenty minutes across that line is legally an interstate move, so it needs a carrier with federal household-goods authority and it is priced on weight and distance rather than by the hour. Short interstate hops are the moves people most often assume are local, and they are not.

Licensing
A short move out of Virginia Beach city can still be interstate
A move that starts and ends inside Virginia is an intrastate move, governed by Virginia law rather than by the FMCSA. Different licence, different complaint process, and usually different pricing — intrastate work is commonly billed hourly while interstate work is billed on weight and distance. Verify a mover's state authority with the Virginia agency that oversees motor carriers before you book, and do not assume a USDOT number alone covers an in-state move.
The moment your shipment crosses the Virginia state line it is an interstate move under federal law. The carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority — a USDOT number plus household-goods authority — must give you the federal "Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move" booklet, and must price the move against a published tariff rather than an hourly rate. You can check any USDOT number yourself on the FMCSA SAFER system before you sign anything.
