The U.S. Census Bureau’s estimates indicate the country’s older adult population continues to rise while younger age groups are declining. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and older climbed by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The nation’s older population has grown substantially over the last 100 years, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 report estimates that nearly half of this demographic, or around 28 million people, may need long-term services and support. It also forecasts 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, 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.”
