Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show continued growth in the nation’s older adult population and declines among younger age groups. The population age 65 and older rose by 13% from 2020 through 2024, while the population under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The older adult demographic in the U.S. surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study predicts that about half of the older age group—approximately 28 million people—will need long-term services and support, with more than a third projected to require nursing home care at some point.
“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.”
