U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate a continued rise in the nation’s older adult population as younger cohorts decline. From 2020 to 2024, the population of Americans age 65 and older grew 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to above 61 million in 2024.
A study published in 2021 found that close to half of individuals in this age bracket—about 28 million—are likely to require long-term services and supports, and projects that more than one-third could need nursing home care at some point.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, who is executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an insurance education organization. “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.”
