Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau highlight continued growth in the country’s older adult population as younger cohorts fall. The population of Americans 65 and older grew by 13% between 2020 and 2024, while people under age 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the nation’s older adult population has climbed substantially, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
According to a 2021 study, close to half of Americans in this older age group—about 28 million—may require long-term services and support. More than a third could eventually depend on 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.”
