To find the average population growth rate per year, we divide the total growth in population by the number of years.
Average population growth rate per year = Total growth in population / Number of years.
Since the population has grown by 3,000 people in 6 years:
Average population growth rate per year = 3000 / 6
Average population growth rate per year = 500.
Therefore, the town's average population growth rate per year is 500.
