U.S. Census Bureau figures show that the population of older adults nationwide is on the rise, while younger populations are shrinking. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13%, while those younger than 18 dropped by 1.7%. The nation’s older adult population has experienced significant growth during the past century, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 report estimates that nearly half of those 65 and older—about 28 million people—will need long-term care and support. More than a third may eventually require nursing home services.
“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.”
