U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the older adult population nationwide continues expanding as younger populations decline. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans aged 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The country’s older adult segment has increased significantly over the last 100 years, going from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that about half of this demographic—roughly 28 million people—may eventually require long-term services and support. More than one-third are likely to require nursing home services.
“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.”
