According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the U.S. continues to see a growing older adult population alongside a decline in younger demographics. The number of individuals 65 and older grew by 13% from 2020 to 2024, while residents under age 18 fell by 1.7%. The country’s population of older adults has expanded substantially in the last 100 years—from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study indicated that nearly 28 million people in this age cohort will likely need long-term services or supports, including nursing facility care—which may eventually be required by over a third of this population.
“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.”
