According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the nation’s older adult population continues to grow while the younger population declines. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and older rose by 13%, and the group under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the last century, the country’s older adult population has expanded significantly, from 4.9 million in 1920 to beyond 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of this age group—around 28 million people—may require some form of long-term services and supports. The research further projects that more than a third could eventually need nursing home care.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
