The U.S. Census Bureau reports that the population of older adults nationwide continues to climb while youth numbers decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans ages 65 and up grew by 13%, as those younger than 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the last century, the older adult population has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimates that almost half of older adults—about 28 million—might need long-term services and support, with projections indicating more than a 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 educational 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.”
