U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the population of older adults nationwide continues to rise while the number of younger people declines. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while the under-18 population declined by 1.7%. The older population in the United States has expanded significantly over the past 100 years, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 study indicates that close to half of this age group—about 28 million—may need long-term services or support. The same research forecasts that more than one-third could 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.”
