U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the nation’s older adult population has continued to expand as younger age groups shrink. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and up grew by 13%, while the under-18 group declined by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has surged over the last century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study finds that almost half of these older Americans—about 28 million—could need long-term services or support, with more than a third likely to require care in a nursing home eventually.
“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 educational resource. “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.”
