Estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the country’s senior population continues to rise while the number of younger people declines. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older increased by 13% and the under-18 segment decreased by 1.7%. Over the past century, the older adult demographic has seen significant expansion, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million by 2024.
A study published in 2021 estimates nearly half of Americans in this age range, about 28 million people, may need long-term services and support. The research also forecasts that more than a third are likely to 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. “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.”
