Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau highlight that the nation’s older adult population has continued to grow, while younger demographics have decreased. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, compared to a 1.7% drop for those under 18. The population of older adults has continually expanded over the last 100 years, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis suggests about half of adults in this age category—around 28 million—may need long-term services and supports, with projections indicating 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 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.”
