U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the nation’s older population continues to increase even as numbers in younger age brackets decline. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, while the population under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult population has risen sharply, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
Researchers in a 2021 study projected that approximately half of people in this age group—about 28 million—are likely to need long-term services and supports. More than one-third may eventually require care in a nursing home.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director for the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an educational 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.”
