Glenpool, OK: how dark is the sky here?

Suburban
26.9 nW/cm2/sr

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 - see the Bortle scale guide for where they can disagree.
