Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show a continued rise in the older adult population while numbers for younger Americans decline. From 2020 to 2024, the 65-and-older demographic in the U.S. increased by 13%, as the under-18 population dropped 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s older population has surged—from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of this population group, about 28 million people, may need long-term services and supports, with projections indicating over one-third could 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 association. “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.”
