U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the country’s senior population continues to grow as the younger demographic shrinks. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The population of older adults in the United States has surged in the last century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024, according to Census data.
A study published in 2021 found that nearly half of older adults—about 28 million people—may need long-term care and services, with projections that more than one-third could 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.”
