U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the national older adult population continues to rise while younger age groups decrease. From 2020 to 2024, the population age 65 and older grew by 13%, whereas the number of Americans under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult population in the U.S. has expanded significantly, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 found nearly half of adults in this age range—about 28 million people—could need some form of long-term services and support. It also indicated over one-third may eventually require care in a nursing home.
“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.”
