| © 2026 Freed Associates, Inc. 26 America’s population is aging, diversifying, and moving, and as a result, reshaping where and how care is needed. By 2034, adults 65 and older will outnumber children for the first time in U.S. history. This population shift will drive greater demand for chronic care, long-term services, and home-based support.
