U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population has continued to rise while the numbers in younger age groups decline. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans ages 65 and older grew by 13%, as the population under age 18 declined by 1.7%. Throughout the past 100 years, the older adult population in the United States saw a substantial increase, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study published in 2021 suggests that close to half this age group—about 28 million people—will require long-term services and support, with more than a third anticipated to need nursing home care at some stage.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” Jesse Slome said, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an industry 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.”
