Kinnelon, NJ: how dark is the sky here?

Kinnelon's sky measures rural here. Little local light dome. Most stars are visible; the Milky Way is faint but often findable away from town lights. Only 3.3% of the 3,206 cities measured here read darker than Kinnelon.

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.
