Recent U.S. Census Bureau estimates show that the population of older adults continues to rise as numbers among younger age groups decline. From 2020 to 2024, the U.S. population aged 65 and up grew by 13%, while people under age 18 decreased by 1.7%. The total population of seniors nationwide saw significant growth over the last century, increasing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 report estimates that almost half of individuals in this age group—about 28 million people—will need some form of long-term services and supports. The report also projects that more than a third are likely to require nursing home care at some point.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” Jesse Slome said, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, an educational insurance 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.”
