Data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates that America’s older adult population is rising as the number of younger individuals declines. Between 2020 and 2024, the population 65 and older grew by 13%, while the under-18 population dropped by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older segment increased from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 review estimates almost half of those in this age group—or around 28 million—may need long-term services and support, and more than one-third could 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. “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.”
