U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population is rising, while the number of younger residents is declining. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older saw a 13% increase, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The older adult population has seen substantial growth over the past 100 years, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 found that almost half in this age group—about 28 million—may need long-term services and supports. It also projects 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.”
