Data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates the nation’s older population continues to grow while the number of younger individuals shrinks. The population of Americans 65 and older rose by 13% from 2020 to 2024, whereas the under-18 group declined by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the older adult population has seen significant growth, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study estimates that roughly half of this demographic, or about 28 million people, could need long-term services and support. The study also suggests that more than a third may ultimately require nursing home assistance.
“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 group. “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.”
