U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population is increasing as the number of youths declines. Americans age 65 and older grew by 13% between 2020 and 2024, while the under-18 population dropped 1.7%. The older adult population has expanded significantly over the past century, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of adults in this age group, about 28 million people, will likely require long-term services and support. The study also estimates that over one-third could eventually 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.”
