Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the nation’s aging population continues to rise as younger demographics decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans aged 65 or older grew in number by 13%, while those under 18 contracted by 1.7%. The older population in the United States has increased dramatically over the last 100 years, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
According to a 2021 study, nearly half of this group—about 28 million people—are expected to require long-term services and support. The report also projects that more than one-third may eventually reside in a nursing home.
“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.”
