Glenpool, OK: how dark is the sky here?

Satellite radiance puts Glenpool in the suburban band. Light dome dominates much of the sky. Only the brightest stars and planets stand out clearly. Only 60.9% of the 3,206 cities measured here read darker than Glenpool.

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.
