Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the nation’s population of older adults is rising as younger demographics decline. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and older rose by 13%, while people under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult population in the United States has increased substantially over the past 100 years, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

Research from 2021 indicates nearly half of adults 65 and over—close to 28 million people—may require long-term care services and supports. The same study predicts over one-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, an insurance 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.”
