U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the national older adult population is continuing to rise while the share of younger groups is falling. Americans 65 years and older grew by 13% from 2020 through 2024, as the population under age 18 declined by 1.7%. The country’s older population has expanded significantly since 1920, going from 4.9 million then to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis found about half of Americans in this group—around 28 million—might need long-term services and supports, with more than a third ultimately requiring care from nursing homes.
“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.”
