U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation has a rising older adult population, while younger groups have declined. Between 2020 and 2024, the population age 65 and above grew by 13%, as the number of people under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The country’s senior population has grown rapidly over the past century, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of U.S. adults in this group, approximately 28 million, are likely to need long-term services and support. More than one third could ultimately require care in a nursing home.
“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 industry 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.”
