Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the population of older adults in the United States continues to rise, while younger age groups see a decline. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, and those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the last hundred years, the nation’s older adult population sharply expanded, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study released in 2021 indicates that nearly half of that age group—approximately 28 million people—may end up needing long-term services and supports. The research further predicts more than one-third 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, 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.”
