U.S. Census Bureau figures show the nation’s older adult population is rising as younger segments shrink. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and up increased by 13%, while the under-18 population decreased by 1.7%. Growth in the older adult population has been substantial over the last 100 years, from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.

According to a 2021 analysis, nearly 50% of this group, about 28 million individuals, are likely to need long-term services and supports, and more than one in three may require nursing home care during their lives.

“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.”
