Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the country’s population of older adults is growing, while numbers among younger age groups decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, and those under 18 fell by 1.7%. The U.S. has seen a major increase in its older adult population over the last 100 years, expanding from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that about 28 million adults in this group will likely need long-term care services and support, with projections indicating that more than a third may 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, an insurance education group. “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.”
