Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the nation’s older population is growing as younger age groups shrink. Between 2020 and 2024, there was a 13% rise in Americans age 65 or older while the number of people under 18 declined by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has surged over the last century, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 research brief indicates that about half of adults in this group—nearly 28 million—are likely to need long-term services and support. The report also estimates over one-third may 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.”
