Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that older adults in the U.S. continue to grow in number as younger age groups decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and over increased by 13%, while the population under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s older population has risen sharply over the last 100 years, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half, or about 28 million, of older Americans may at some point need long-term services and support. More than a third could ultimately require nursing home care, according to researchers.
“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.”
