U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population continues to expand as numbers of younger age groups fall. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The country’s older adult segment has grown substantially over the last century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A study from 2021 indicates that almost half of those age 65 and older—about 28 million people—could need long-term care services. The research also forecasts that more than a third may require nursing home care in the future.
“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.”
