According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the segment of older adults in the U.S. is expanding, while the population of children declines. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans age 65 and up increased by 13%, as the under-18 population dropped by 1.7%. Over the last century, the number of older U.S. residents grew sharply, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that nearly half of the older adult population—about 28 million people—may need long-term services and supports, with over a third potentially requiring 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 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.”
