U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the nation’s older population continues to rise while younger age brackets shrink. Between 2020 and 2024, the 65-and-older population grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult population has increased considerably, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million as of 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimates that nearly half of those 65 and older—about 28 million—will need long-term care services and support. The same study foresees that more than a third of this cohort will eventually require nursing home placement.
“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.”
