Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the nation’s older adult population continues to increase as the younger demographic declines. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Across the past century, the number of older adults in the U.S. increased significantly, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study estimated that nearly half of Americans in this age range, or about 28 million people, are likely to need long-term services and supports, with projections suggesting more than a third may 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, 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.”
