Lebanon, OR: how dark is the sky here?

Lebanon's sky measures suburban here. Light dome dominates much of the sky. Only the brightest stars and planets stand out clearly. Lebanon's sky is brighter than 58.4% of the 3,206 cities in this dataset.

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.
