U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the older adult population nationwide has continued to expand while younger populations have decreased. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and older climbed 13%, while the number of residents under age 18 dropped 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the United States’ senior population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimated that nearly half of those age 65 and older—about 28 million people—are likely to need long-term services and supports, with more than one-third potentially requiring nursing home care in the future.
“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.”
