U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the nation’s population of older adults is rising, while younger age groups get smaller. The number of Americans age 65 and up grew by 13% from 2020 to 2024, whereas those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The country’s over-65 population has seen significant growth over the last hundred years, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study estimated about half of this group, or around 28 million people, may need long-term services and support. The report also suggested that more than 1 in 3 could eventually require nursing home services.
“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, an 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.”
