Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show that growth in the nation’s older adult population has outpaced the younger groups. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans ages 65 and up increased by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The count of older adults in the U.S. surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
Results from a 2021 study indicate nearly half of older adults—about 28 million—are expected to need long-term services and supports, and with projections showing more than a 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. “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.”
