U.S. Census Bureau data show that the older adult population in the nation is rising as younger age groups shrink. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last 100 years, the older adult demographic has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 research brief found that nearly half of those age 65 and up—around 28 million—could require long-term services and support, and more than a third may 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.”
