Based on U.S. Census Bureau estimates, growth in the country’s older adult population continues, while the number of younger individuals is declining. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and up grew by 13%, contrasted with a 1.7% drop in those under 18. The older adult population has seen a steep rise over the last 100 years, expanding from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 analysis found that close to half this group—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and support, with projections indicating over a third may 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 organization. “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.”
