Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the country’s population of older adults is on the rise as younger age groups decrease. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while the number under age 18 fell by 1.7%. The population of older adults has risen substantially over the last century, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 found nearly half of adults in this age group—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and supports, with projections showing more than one-third may ultimately require nursing home care.
“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.”
