According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the nation’s older adult demographic keeps increasing, while younger groups continue to decline. Between 2020 and 2024, the 65-and-older population grew by 13%, compared to a 1.7% decrease among those under 18. Nationally, the older adult population expanded substantially over the past century, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study indicates that nearly 28 million individuals in this age group—almost half—are expected to need long-term services and supports. The study also projects that more than a third may require nursing home care in the future.
“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.”
