Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the number of older adults in the United States continues to grow, while younger populations diminish. From 2020 to 2024, the 65-and-older population grew 13%, and those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The country’s aging population has climbed significantly in the last century, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

Research published in 2021 found that close to half of older Americans, or around 28 million people, could require long-term services and support. The findings also indicate that over one-third may eventually need care in a nursing home.

“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.”
