According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, the older adult segment of the U.S. population keeps increasing while younger age groups continue to decline. From 2020 through 2024, the number of residents aged 65 and up rose by 13%, while Americans under 18 decreased by 1.7%. The nation’s senior population has grown rapidly since 1920, up from 4.9 million to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 study indicates nearly half of adults aged 65 and older—about 28 million people—might require long-term services or support, with projections showing that over one-third may eventually enter a nursing home.
