U.S. Census Bureau figures indicate the country’s older population continues to increase as younger cohorts decline. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under age 18 decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s older population has surged over the last century, jumping from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimates that nearly 50% of this group, about 28 million people, may require long-term services and supports. It also suggests that more than a third could eventually rely on 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.”
