The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that as older American populations continue to increase, younger groups are declining. From 2020 to 2024, the number of people age 65 and older rose by 13%, while those under age 18 decreased by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the older population has rapidly expanded, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to above 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis indicates that nearly half of Americans in this age range, or about 28 million people, could need long-term services and support. Projections also suggest more than a third may ultimately require care in a nursing facility.
“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.”
