The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the population of older adults continues to rise as younger demographics decline. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and above grew by 13%, while those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the last century, the older adult population has increased significantly, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 finds that almost half of this age bracket, about 28 million people, may need long-term care and support. The report also anticipates that more than one-third may eventually require residence 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.”
