U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the population of older adults nationwide continues to rise while younger cohorts decrease. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and up grew by 13%, as the population under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has risen substantially over the previous century, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study from 2021 found that nearly half of individuals in this demographic—about 28 million people—might require long-term services and supports. Over a third of this group is projected to eventually need 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 organization focused on insurance education. “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.”
