U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older population continues to rise, while younger age cohorts have declined. The 65-and-older segment increased by 13% from 2020 to 2024, as those under age 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the older adult population in the U.S. surged from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A study from 2021 estimates that around half the 65-and-older population—about 28 million people—may require long-term services and support, with over a third likely to need nursing home care in the future.
“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.”
