    Absolute increase : 2050

    Relative increase : 63.08%.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Absolute

    The absolute increase is the subtraction of the population in 2011 by the population is 2006.

    So 5300 - 3250 = 2050

    Relative

    The relative increase is the absolute increase divided by the initial population, that is, the population in 2006. Then you multiply by 100 to find the value as a percent

    So 2050/3250 = 0.6308*100 = 63.08%.
