Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the older adult segment of the nation’s population continues to expand as younger age groups decrease. From 2020 to 2024, the U.S. saw a 13% rise in the population ages 65 and older while the number of individuals under 18 dropped 1.7%. The older adult population has grown significantly over the last 100 years, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 report estimated that nearly half of those ages 65 and older—about 28 million people—could need long-term services and supports. Projections from that study suggest that more than a third could require care in a nursing home at some point.
“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 organization. “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.”
