Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show the older U.S. population is increasing as younger demographics decrease. From 2020 to 2024, the nation’s population of adults 65 and older grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult population in the U.S. has surged over the last 100 years, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
Research from 2021 estimated that about half of adults in this age group—approximately 28 million—are likely to require long-term services and support. The same study also predicts that more than one-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 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.”
