U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the country’s population of older adults continues to rise as the numbers of younger age groups fall. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last century, the senior demographic has climbed sharply, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that almost half of the Americans in this age group—approximately 28 million—may eventually need long-term services or supports, with projections indicating that over one-third might require nursing home care at some stage.
“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.”
