U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the older adult population nationwide continues to expand as younger age groups shrink. From 2020 through 2024, the number of Americans 65 and older rose by 13%, while the population under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s older adult population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study finds nearly half this age group—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and support, and that 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.”
