U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate growth in the nation’s older adult population, while numbers for younger age groups have declined. Between 2020 and 2024, the population age 65 and older rose by 13%, as those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s older adult demographic has surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study finds that nearly half of individuals in this age group—about 28 million—could need long-term services and supports. More than a third may ultimately require residential 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 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.”
