On this point, I was mostly concerned to dismantle the frequent argument that helotry was somehow not 'real' slavery. Once the basic abhorrence of helotry is established, the demographics of Sparta do the remaining work...
...a society that is anywhere from 66% (Figueira's figures) to 85% (my own working estimate explained in the giant caption on the Sparta box chart) brutalized enslaved people - that is a pretty uniquely bad society.
I actually struggled to find any point of comparison. South Carolina - the least free U.S. state in 1860 - was 57.2% enslaved (only two states prior to the civil war had majority enslaved populations, S. Carolina and Mississippi).
Brazil was majority enslaved (52.8% is the figure I've seen) in the 1780s (as a colony of Portugal), but the figure at independence in 1822 I've seen is 1.5m out of 3.5m enslaved (42.8%).
I've read that in Haiti ca 1789 there were on average 30k free whites, 30k free 'coloured' and 500k enslaved Africans on the island, giving you a close-to 90% enslaved rate, but as you said, that was a colony not a complete entity.
Although by most accounts the death rate for enslaved people in Haiti was far worse than anything the helots faced.
