The U.S. Census Bureau projects ongoing growth in the country’s older adult population, while the number of younger Americans is declining. From 2020 to 2024, the nation’s population of those age 65 or older increased by 13%, as those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the last century, the population of older adults has expanded significantly—rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A study published in 2021 found nearly half of people in this group, or around 28 million individuals, may require long-term services and supports. The report also estimates that more than one-third could ultimately 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. “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.”
