Sebring, FL: how dark is the sky here?

Sebring 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. Sebring's sky is brighter than 38.3% 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.

How far Sebring is from a meaningfully darker sky

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