U.S. Census Bureau data indicates America’s older adult population keeps increasing as younger demographics shrink. From 2020 to 2024, Americans 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The country’s older adult group has expanded significantly since 1920, reaching more than 61 million by 2024 compared with just 4.9 million over a century ago.
Research from 2021 estimates nearly half of these older adults, close to 28 million, are likely to need long-term services and supports, with more than one-third potentially requiring nursing home care eventually.
“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 organization dedicated to insurance education. “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.”
