Based on U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the U.S. older adult population is growing while younger age groups decline. Between 2020 and 2024, the population aged 65 and older rose by 13%, as those younger than 18 declined by 1.7%. The older adult demographic in the country has expanded sharply since 1920, growing from 4.9 million then to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 report indicates that about half of Americans in this age group, or an estimated 28 million, might need long-term care services and support. The analysis also projects that more than a third of them will potentially require 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. “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.”
