U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the older adult population in the U.S. is expanding, while younger populations contract. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and older grew by 13%, whereas the under-18 population declined by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the U.S. older adult population increased dramatically, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

Research published in 2021 found that almost half of Americans age 65 and up—about 28 million—are expected to require some form of long-term services and support. More than one-third may ultimately need nursing home care.

“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, said. “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.”
