Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau show that America’s older adult cohort continues to rise as the population of younger age groups declines. From 2020 to 2024, citizens age 65 and up rose by 13%, while the under-18 category dropped by 1.7%. Over a century, the nation’s older population expanded considerably, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to above 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 analysis concludes that close to half of older adults, equal to about 28 million, may need long-term services and supports. Projections also show that more than a third may ultimately 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. “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.”
