According to estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau, the older population in the United States is growing while numbers for younger age groups are declining. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans ages 65 and older increased by 13%, in contrast to a 1.7% decrease in the population under 18. Over the last century, the country’s older adult population sharply expanded, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A study released in 2021 found that nearly 50% of this demographic—about 28 million people—could require long-term services and supports. The research also predicts more than a third could eventually move into 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 insurance information 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.”
