U.S. Census Bureau estimates show that the population of older adults in the United States is continuing to rise while younger demographics decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and up increased by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the nation’s older adult population has climbed significantly, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study projects that close to half of adults in this age group—about 28 million people—will need long-term services and support at some point. More than one-third are likely to require nursing home care eventually.
“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 organization focused on insurance education. “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.”
