U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the national population of older adults continues to rise as youth numbers lessen. From 2020 through 2024, citizens age 65 and older grew by 13%, while the under-18 population dropped 1.7%. The country’s older adult segment has surged in the past century, from 4.9 million in 1920 to beyond 61 million as of 2024.
A study published in 2021 found that about half of older U.S. adults—approximately 28 million—may one day require long-term support services. The research also estimates more than a third might ultimately enter a nursing home.
“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.”
