According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the U.S. senior population continues to rise, while the number of younger age groups declines. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 or older rose by 13%, and the population under 18 dropped by 1.7%. The nation’s older demographic has surged over the past 100 years, growing from 4.9 million in 1920 to over 61 million in 2024.
A 2021 analysis finds nearly half of these seniors—about 28 million—are expected to use long-term services and support at some point. The same analysis projects over one-third could need nursing home care.
“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.”
