The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the older adult population in the United States is expanding, while the number of younger individuals is shrinking. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, as the population under 18 fell by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the older adult demographic in the country surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis indicates that about half of those age 65 and older—roughly 28 million people—may need long-term services and support. The analysis also predicts that more than a third of this age group could ultimately 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.”
