Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the nation’s older population is expanding while figures for younger age groups decline. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, compared to a 1.7% decrease in the population younger than 18. Over the last century, the older adult population rose from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study projects that nearly half of adults age 65 and up—about 28 million—may require long-term services and supports, with more than one-third potentially needing 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.”
