The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that as the country’s older adult population continues to rise, younger groups are declining. Between 2020 and 2024, Americans 65 or older grew by 13%, while those under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s older adult population has expanded considerably since 1920, increasing from 4.9 million to over 61 million by 2024.

A 2021 report estimates that close to half of adults in this age group—roughly 28 million people—may need long-term services and support. The report also forecasts that more than one-third might eventually require care in a nursing home.

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