U.S. Census Bureau estimates demonstrate the ongoing growth of the older adult population in the nation, while younger population groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, residents age 65 and older grew by 13%, whereas those under 18 experienced a 1.7% drop. The country’s older population has expanded significantly over the last century, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to beyond 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study indicates nearly half of this demographic—about 28 million people—are projected to require long-term services and supports. The study further concludes more than one-third may ultimately transition into 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.”
