To find the town's average population growth rate per year, we divide the total population growth by the number of years:
Average population growth rate = Total population growth / Number of years
In this case, the total population growth is 3,000 people and the number of years is 6.
Average population growth rate = 3,000 / 6 = 500 people per year
Therefore, the town's average population growth rate per year is 500 people.
