To find the town's average population growth rate per year, we need to divide the total population growth by the number of years.
Total Population Growth = 3,000 people
Number of Years = 6 years
Average Population Growth Rate per Year = Total Population Growth / Number of Years
= 3,000 people / 6 years
= 500 people per year
Therefore, the town's average population growth rate per year is 500 people.
