U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate a continued increase in the country’s older adult population as the number of children declines. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and over grew by 13%, while those under 18 declined by 1.7%. The United States’ older adult population has seen significant growth over the past 100 years, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study estimates that nearly half of Americans age 65 and older—around 28 million—will need long-term services and supports, with more than one-third eventually requiring 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, an insurance education group. “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.”
