U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the country’s older population continues to rise while numbers of younger Americans dip. From 2020 to 2024, there was a 13% increase in people age 65 and older, while the population under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The growth of the older adult demographic has been steep, expanding from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 report found roughly 28 million in this age group may eventually need long-term services and support, with projections that more than a third could require nursing home assistance in the future.

“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, a public insurance education group. “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.”
