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