Recent U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the nation’s senior population is increasing while younger cohorts have declined. Americans age 65 and older grew by 13% between 2020 and 2024, compared to a 1.7% decrease for those under 18. The older adult demographic in the U.S. has grown significantly over the past century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 analysis found that about half the population in this age bracket—close to 28 million people—will need long-term services and support, with projections showing over a third will 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. “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.”
