U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the country’s older adult population is expanding as younger demographics decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, while those under 18 fell 1.7%. The nation’s older adult population has escalated over the last century, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 indicated that almost half of adults 65 and older—about 28 million people—may need long-term services or support, and more than a 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.”
