U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the country’s older adult population is growing, while the under-18 group declines. From 2020 to 2024, the number of Americans age 65 and older rose 13%, whereas those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The older adult demographic has expanded substantially, rising from 4.9 million people in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimated nearly half of these older adults—around 28 million—could require long-term care services. The study also indicated that more than a third may ultimately need nursing home care.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director for 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.”
