U.S. Census Bureau estimates show that the nation’s older adult population is climbing while younger groups are shrinking. Between 2020 and 2024, those age 65 and up increased by 13%, and those under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last 100 years, the older population has surged, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 report found nearly half of adults 65 and older—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and support, and more than a third may eventually need 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.”
