U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population continues to grow while numbers in younger age groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and up rose by 13%, whereas those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has expanded sharply over the last century, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
Research from 2021 finds that nearly half of this age group—around 28 million people—may someday need long-term services or support. The study also contends that more than one-third may ultimately 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 group. “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.”
