U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the U.S. population of older adults is climbing, while the number of younger individuals declines. Between 2020 and 2024, the segment of Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, and the population under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population has surged over the last 100 years, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis finds that nearly half of this demographic—about 28 million individuals—may require long-term services and supports, with more than a third projected to eventually need 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 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.”
