U.S. Census Bureau estimates show that the nation’s older population continues to rise while younger demographics shrink. Between 2020 and 2024, the American population 65 and older went up by 13%, while the number of those under 18 dropped 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult population grew rapidly, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 report projects that approximately half of adults over 65—about 28 million—will require long-term services and support. The report also finds that over a third may eventually need care in a nursing home.
“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.”
