Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau highlight continued growth in the older adult population nationwide as the number of younger Americans drops. Americans age 65 and older increased by 13% from 2020 to 2024, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The U.S. has seen its older adult population surge dramatically from just 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
Research published in 2021 indicates that almost 28 million older adults—or nearly half of those age 65 and up—may require long-term care, with projections that over one-third may eventually reside 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 educational 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.”
