U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the country’s older adult population is on the rise while the number of younger Americans is shrinking. Between 2020 and 2024, the nation saw a 13% increase in residents 65 and older, while the population under age 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult segment has expanded sharply, moving from 4.9 million in 1920 to well over 61 million for 2024.
A 2021 study projects that close to half of older Americans—about 28 million people—could eventually need long-term services and support. The report further estimates that more than a third may ultimately rely on 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.”
