Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the nation’s older adult population is rising as numbers for younger age groups decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, the population of Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The nation’s older adult population has expanded substantially over the past 100 years, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study estimates nearly half of this population—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and support. The study also projects that more than a third may at some point require 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.”
