U.S. Census Bureau figures indicate America’s older adult population is expanding as younger groups shrink. Americans age 65 and older increased 13% from 2020 to 2024 as the under-18 population fell by 1.7%. In the past century, the older adult population has seen major growth, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study indicates close to half of Americans in this age group, nearly 28 million people, may require long-term services and supports, with more than a third potentially needing nursing home care eventually.
“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.”
