U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the older adult population nationwide is growing while numbers in younger groups are declining. Between 2020 and 2024, the U.S. population ages 65 and older grew by 13%, whereas the under-18 population decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s older adult segment has surged for the past 100 years, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study found that almost half of this age demographic, approximately 28 million individuals, could need long-term services and support. The research also estimates that more than a third might require nursing home care at some point.
“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.”
