U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s population of older adults continues to rise as younger groups decline. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans aged 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult demographic expanded from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

A study from 2021 found that roughly half of Americans in this age group, or about 28 million individuals, could need long-term services and support. The study also projects that more than a third may eventually need 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 insurance education organization. “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.”
