Helping loved ones navigate the maze of elder care
The number of people over 65 in the U.S. is expected to surpass the number of children in 2034, according to a 2018 study by the U.S. Census Bureau. Work is underway to see how COVID-19 deaths have impacted the pace of this prediction.
Today, seniors over the age of 65 make up about 16% of the population in Boone, Campbell, and Kenton counties, according to Census Bureau data, but that estimated number may hit 20-25% within the next seven to 10 years. As of 2022, meanwhile, children under 18 in NKY account for about 23% of the 402,000 estimated Northern Kentuckians.
An aging population means more people at every income level will need care.
