Excerpt: “In the U.S., the population of Americans age 65 and older was 55.7 million in 2020. They represented 17% of the population, more than 1 in every 6 Americans. The number of older Americans has increased by 15.2 million (or 38%) since 2010, compared to an increase of 2% for the under-65 population. Between 2010 and 2020, the number of Americans age 45-64 (who will reach age 65 over the next two decades) increased by 1% from 81.8 million to 82.8 million. The number of Americans age 60 and older increased by 33% from 57.5 million to 76.5 million. In 2020, 30.8 million women and 24.8 million men were age 65 and older. That’s 124 women for every 100 men. At age 85 and older, this ratio increased to 176 women for every 100 men.”
