Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau reveal the nation’s older population is on the rise, while younger groups are shrinking. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and up climbed 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the last century, the country’s older adult population expanded substantially—from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

A study released in 2021 estimates nearly 50% of this group—approximately 28 million people—will need long-term services and assistance, with projections showing more than a 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.”
