Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the senior adult population increasing nationwide, while younger demographics are declining. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, and the population under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the last century, the older population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of people in this age group—around 28 million—may need long-term services and support, and more than a third could 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. “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.”
