The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the country’s population of older adults continues to rise as the number of younger individuals declines. From 2020 to 2024, Americans aged 65 and over increased by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. America’s older population rose from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
Researchers in a 2021 study found that about half of adults in this age group—or roughly 28 million—could eventually rely on long-term services and supports, with projections indicating more than one-third may need 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.”
