U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population is on the rise, while younger groups are shrinking. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, and the population of those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The country’s older adult demographic has surged over the last century, expanding from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million as of 2024.
A 2021 analysis found that almost half of individuals in this group, about 28 million, may need long-term services and support, and more than one-third could require nursing home care during their lifetimes.
“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.”
