U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the country’s older population is rising as younger groups shrink. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while the population under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s older adult population has surged over a century, expanding from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study indicates that close to half of this group—about 28 million people—could require long-term services and support. The study also anticipates that more than one-third may ultimately need care in a nursing home.
“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.”
