It is 16000.
Most schools teach you to always round 5 up (to 17000). However, doing so is inappropriate because it introduces an upward bias. The IEEE (Institute of Electronic and Electrical Engineers) standard 754 is to round 5 up or down so that the new last digit is even.

The answer depends on the units used for 16500. It should be obvious to anybody that 16500 metres and 16500 yards will round to two different answers, as will measurements in other units.
