U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the population of older Americans is climbing as numbers in younger age groups fall. From 2020 through 2024, the country’s population aged 65 and over went up by 13%, while the number of Americans under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The older adult population in the United States expanded significantly over the past century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study published in 2021 found that almost half of Americans in this older age group—about 28 million people—might eventually require long-term services and support, and it projects that over a third could end up needing nursing home care.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” Jesse Slome said, 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.”
