Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the nation’s population of older adults is steadily rising, as younger demographics decline. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has surged over the past century, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 report found that about half of this age group—roughly 28 million people—may need long-term services and support, with over a third expected 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.”
