The nation’s older adult population is growing while younger generations decline, according to U.S. Census Bureau estimates. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans 65 and older increased by 13%, as those under 18 fell by 1.7%. The country’s older adult population saw large growth over the last century, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of adults 65 and older—about 28 million—could require long-term services and supports. The study projects that over one-third may at some point need 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. “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.”
