U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the country’s older population continues to expand while younger demographics shrink. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and over increased by 13%, whereas those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The number of older adults in the U.S. has surged over the past century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study estimates that nearly half of adults in this age group—about 28 million people—will likely need long-term care or related support. The same study projects over a third may ultimately require nursing home services.
“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.”
