U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the population of older adults nationwide is growing while the number of younger people declines. From 2020 to 2024, the population of Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, whereas people under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the older adult population has expanded substantially, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study estimates that close to half of this group—about 28 million Americans—are likely to need long-term support and services. The report also forecasts that a third of these individuals may 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, 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.”
