Estimates by the U.S. Census Bureau indicate the nation’s senior population continues to expand as the younger population declines. Americans age 65 and older increased 13% between 2020 and 2024, while the under-18 population dropped by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the country’s older adult population has seen substantial growth, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 study found that about half of this demographic, or around 28 million people, could require long-term services and support, with projections showing more than a third may eventually need 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 organization dedicated to insurance education. “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.”
