U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the population of older adults nationwide continues to rise, while numbers in younger age groups decrease. From 2020 through 2024, Americans ages 65 and older grew by 13%, and the population under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult population has risen dramatically, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to upwards of 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimates that approximately half of this population group, or about 28 million people, could need long-term services and supports. The same study projects that more than a third may ultimately require care in a nursing home.
“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 organization focused on insurance education. “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.”
