According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the country’s older adult population continues to rise while numbers in younger age groups decrease. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 or older increased by 13%, while the under-18 population dropped by 1.7%. The United States has seen its older population surge over the last century, growing from 4.9 million people in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that almost half of this demographic—around 28 million individuals—may eventually need extensive long-term services and support. The research also projects that more than a third may require nursing home care over time.
“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.”
