U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the country’s older adult population is rising as numbers of children decrease. The population age 65 and older grew by 13% between 2020 and 2024, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult segment has increased significantly over the last century, expanding from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A study published in 2021 found that about half of adults in this age range—approximately 28 million people—could require long-term support services. The study also noted that over one-third may ultimately need nursing home care.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” Jesse Slome said, 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.”
