Grosse Pointe Park, MI: how dark is the sky here?

Grosse Pointe Park reads as suburban edge on this dataset's scale. A noticeable glow near the horizon. Brighter stars and constellations are easy to pick out; the Milky Way is washed out. Only 41.8% of the 3,206 cities measured here read darker than Grosse Pointe Park.

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.
