Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the nation’s population of older adults continues to grow while younger age groups decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans aged 65 and over rose by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s older adult population has increased substantially, from 4.9 million in 1920 to above 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 estimates close to half of those over 65, or about 28 million individuals, may need some form of long-term services and supports. The report also projects that more than one-third of this group could ultimately 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 organization. “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.”
