U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the population of older adults across the United States is growing while the number of younger individuals is shrinking. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and older rose by 13%. In contrast, the under-18 population decreased by 1.7%. The U.S. older adult demographic has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study published in 2021 reports that nearly half of those 65 and above—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and supports. The projection shows that more than one-third of this population may ultimately 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, 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.”
