Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the older adult population in the U.S. is rising, while younger populations are shrinking. Americans age 65 and older grew by 13% from 2020 to 2024, and those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last 100 years, the nation’s older adult segment expanded significantly, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that almost half of older adults—about 28 million people—may need long-term services and support, with projections stating more than one-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.”
