U.S. Census Bureau data indicate the nation’s older adult population is increasing, while younger age groups are declining. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, and those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has expanded significantly over the last century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 report finds that nearly half of people age 65 and older, or about 28 million individuals, might need long-term care and support. Over one-third are projected to eventually 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. “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.”
