Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the nation’s population of older adults continues to grow, while younger age groups decline. From 2020 to 2024, there was a 13% increase in Americans age 65 and older, while the population under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The overall aging population in the United States has expanded significantly over the last 100 years, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis estimates that nearly half of adults in this age group—about 28 million Americans—are likely to need long-term services and support, with more than a third projected to eventually require 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 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.”
