U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the older adult population nationwide is rising while younger groups are declining. Between 2020 and 2024, the population of Americans 65 and older increased by 13%, as the under-18 group decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s older adult segment expanded significantly, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimated nearly half of Americans in this age category—about 28 million—may need long-term services and supports. The study also forecasts that more than a third could 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. “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.”
