U.S. Census Bureau estimates show that the nation’s older adult population is rising while the number of children is decreasing. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and up grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult segment expanded from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of individuals in this age group—approximately 28 million—will likely need some form of long-term services and support. More than a third are projected to eventually require 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.”
