U.S. Census Bureau estimates indicate the nation’s older population continues to grow, while younger age groups decline. Americans age 65 and over increased by 13% from 2020 to 2024, as the number of those under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the past century, the country’s older population has expanded significantly, from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study finds that nearly half of this age group, about 28 million people, might need long-term support and services, and projects that more than a third could require nursing home care in the future.
“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 group. “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.”
