U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the population of older adults nationwide continues to expand as numbers in younger age brackets decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans 65 or older rose by 13%, while the number of individuals under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the last century, the older adult population in the U.S. has grown substantially, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study published in 2021 found that close to half of adults in this age group—around 28 million—may need long-term services and supports, with more than a third expected to 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.”
