To find the average growth rate per year, divide the total growth in population by the number of years:
Total growth = 600 people
Number of years = 2 years
Average growth rate per year = Total growth / Number of years
= 600 people / 2 years
= 300 people per year
Therefore, on average, the town will grow by 300 people in 5 years.
