U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the nation’s older adult population is increasing as the youth population decreases. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while the under-18 group dropped by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the older adult population expanded sharply, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 analysis found that nearly half of individuals in this age range—about 28 million people—may require long-term services and supports, with projections indicating that more than one-third may eventually need 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.”
