Fillmore, CA: how dark is the sky here?

Fillmore's sky measures suburban here. Light dome dominates much of the sky. Only the brightest stars and planets stand out clearly. Only 68.4% of the 3,206 cities measured here read darker than Fillmore.

This comes from a satellite measuring light radiating upward, not a person's eyes on the ground, so it isn't the same as a Bortle class, though the two track each other closely.
