Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate America’s older adult population continues to rise as the number of younger individuals declines. From 2020 to 2024, the population of those age 65 or older grew by 13%, while the number of residents under age 18 dropped 1.7%. Over the last century, the nation’s older population expanded significantly, reaching more than 61 million in 2024 compared with 4.9 million in 1920.
A 2021 analysis estimated that nearly half of people in this age range—roughly 28 million—might need long-term services and supports. Projections also show that over one-third could eventually 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, an insurance education organization. “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.”
