The percent increase in population is 28%.

To calculate the percent increase in population, we first need to find the difference between the population in 2000 and 1990.

Population increase = 32,000 - 25,000 = 7,000

Next, we divide the population increase by the initial population and multiply by 100 to find the percent increase.

Percent increase = (Population increase / Initial population) * 100

Percent increase = (7,000 / 25,000) * 100 = 28%
