North Carolina’s Aging Population in 2025

• 1 in 5 North Carolinians are now age 60 or older, and this number is steadily rising. By 2033, projections show that 1 in 4 people in the state will be 60 or older, reflecting a rapidly aging population.
• The fastest-growing age groups in the next two decades are those 75-84 and 85+, which means the need for caregiving and support services will only increase.
• North Carolina’s population is now approximately 10.5 million, ranking 10th in the nation overall, 9th for residents over 60, and 11th for those 85 and older.
• Charlotte remains the largest city, with over 900,000 residents and a metro area population of 2.4 million. That means there are now more than 180,000 people over 60 in Charlotte alone.

The Growing Need for Caregiver Support

In 2025, there are 63 million Americans serving as caregivers—a number that continues to climb as the population ages. Family caregivers are essential partners in care, but the demands can be overwhelming, leading to financial strain and emotional stress. In-home care agencies can help by providing professional support, allowing family members to rest, work, or focus on their own well-being.
