U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the country’s older population is rising while the number of younger Americans is shrinking. From 2020 to 2024, those age 65 and older increased by 13%, as the under-18 group declined by 1.7%. Over the past century, the nation’s older adult population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to above 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of Americans in this age segment—approximately 28 million people—could need long-term services and support, with projections indicating over one-third may 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, an insurance education 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.”
