U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older population keeps rising as numbers in younger age groups fall. From 2020 to 2024, Americans 65 and older increased by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has expanded significantly over the past century, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that about half of adults in this age group, or around 28 million people, may require long-term support and services. The study also predicts that over a third could eventually need care in nursing homes.
“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.”
