Milford, DE: how dark is the sky here?

Milford reads as suburban on this dataset's scale. Light dome dominates much of the sky. Only the brightest stars and planets stand out clearly. Only 44.5% of the 3,206 cities measured here read darker than Milford.

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.

Millville, NJ is itself still a measured city, not a designated dark-sky park, this only compares against the 3,206 places this dataset covers.
