U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older adult population is climbing, while those under age 18 are shrinking. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of Americans ages 65 and older grew by 13%, compared with a 1.7% decline among minors. Over the last 100 years, the older population has surged, expanding from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million in 2024.

A 2021 study found that almost half of people in this age group—about 28 million—are likely to need long-term support. The study also predicts more than one-third could require nursing home care during their lifetime.

“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.”
