U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate that the country’s older population is rising as the number of younger Americans declines. From 2020 to 2024, the over-65 population rose by 13%, while those under 18 dropped 1.7%. The United States’ senior population has expanded notably in the past 100 years, climbing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 analysis projects nearly half of adults in this age category—about 28 million people—will need long-term services and supports. The same research estimates that more than a third could 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, an insurance education nonprofit. “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.”
