U.S. Census Bureau estimates show a continuing rise in the nation’s older adult population, while younger age groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, the population of Americans 65 and older grew by 13%, as those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult population in the country has surged throughout the past century, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimates that around half of Americans in this age category—about 28 million—are likely to require some form of long-term services and supports, with more than one-third projected to need nursing home care at some stage.
“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.”
