Sharon, PA: how dark is the sky here?

Sharon 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 72.2% of the 3,206 cities measured here read darker than Sharon.

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.
