According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the population of older adults in the U.S. is growing, while younger age groups are seeing declines. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans aged 65 and older rose by 13%, compared with a 1.7% decrease in the under-18 population. Over the past century, the nation’s older adult population has increased substantially, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 found that almost half of people in this age group, or approximately 28 million individuals, are likely to need long-term services and support. The report also anticipates more than a third will 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.”
