According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, America’s older population is expanding as younger age groups decline. The number of Americans 65 and older grew by 13% between 2020 and 2024, while the population under 18 shrank by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has increased significantly in the past century, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that close to half of this group—roughly 28 million people—may need long-term services and support. More than a third may require nursing home care at some point, the study predicts.
“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.”
