Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the population of older adults in the United States is continuing to grow, while the number of young people is declining. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult population has expanded sharply over the past 100 years from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 analysis found that nearly half of people ages 65 and older—an estimated 28 million—are likely to need long-term services and support. It also projects that over one-third could eventually 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.”
