U.S. Census Bureau estimates show a continued increase in the nation’s older adult population alongside a decline among younger groups. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the U.S. older adult population has expanded significantly, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to exceeding 61 million in 2024.

Findings from a 2021 study indicate nearly half of individuals in this age group, about 28 million people, are likely to need long-term services and support. The study also projects that over a third could require nursing home care at some stage.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, said. “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.”
