U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population keeps rising while younger age groups shrink. From 2020 to 2024, Americans 65 and older grew by 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 more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study estimates nearly half of this group—about 28 million people—may use long-term services and support. The research also finds more than a 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.”
