In Spanish text, is the % sign okay, or spelled out preferred in most cases?

I think the % is acceptable but used infrequently.
Normally
18% of the people here are over 65 - El dieciocho por ciento de la gente aquí tienen más de 65 años.
Production has risen by 18% - La producción ha aumentado en un 8 por 100.
