U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that older adults across the nation continue to increase in number while younger groups decline. From 2020 to 2024, the U.S. population aged 65 and older grew by 13%, as those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the course of a century, the nation’s older adult population has expanded considerably, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to above 61 million by 2024.
A study published in 2021 estimates that almost half of Americans in this age range—about 28 million—could need long-term services and support. The study also projects that more than one-third may ultimately 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.”
