U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the nation’s older adult population is increasing while numbers of younger individuals decline. The group age 65 and older grew by 13% from 2020 to 2024, while the population under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the last 100 years, the country’s older adult population has expanded substantially, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to above 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that almost half of people in this age group—about 28 million—could need long-term services and support. The same study projected that more than one-third might eventually require 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.”
