U.S. Census Bureau estimates show that the nation’s older adult population is rising, while younger groups are shrinking. From 2020 to 2024, Americans 65 and older increased by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The larger trend has seen the older adult demographic expand greatly during the past century, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A study published in 2021 estimates that about half of this population, or 28 million people, will need some form of long-term services and support. More than a third are likely to eventually require 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.”
