U.S. Census Bureau estimates report that older adults now outnumber children in the nation, with a steady growth among Americans ages 65 and above. Between 2020 and 2024, the population of those at least 65 rose by 13%, while the number of people under 18 declined by 1.7%. Over the last century, the nation’s population of older adults climbed sharply, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
Based on a 2021 study, about half of this age group—close to 28 million people—are expected to need long-term care services. The report further projects that more than a third may require nursing home care at some stage.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance’s executive director. “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.”
