U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the older adult population continues to rise while younger age groups decline. From 2020 to 2024, people age 65 and older in the U.S. increased by 13%, and the under-18 population dropped by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has grown notably over the last 100 years, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that close to half of adults age 65 and older—about 28 million—may need long-term services and support, and more than one-third are likely to use 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.”
