Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show that the U.S. continues to experience growth in its older adult demographic, even as numbers decline in younger populations. From 2020 to 2024, Americans 65 and older grew by 13%, while the population under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the last 100 years, the older adult population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 indicates that about half of these older adults, or approximately 28 million people, may require some form of long-term services and supports. Additionally, projections estimate more than one-third could need nursing home care in the future.
“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.”
