U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate a continuing increase in the nation’s older adult population as younger groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, the population of Americans ages 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult population in the U.S. has expanded significantly throughout the past 100 years, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study indicates that nearly half of people in this age category—approximately 28 million—may need long-term services and support. The same study predicts that over one-third could 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.”
