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%).
But an entire polity - the whole political entity, metropole and colonies together - being not only majority enslaved but massively so...I honestly know of no later parallel. Perhaps a historian of the early modern Atlantic would know of one.
So, was helotry worse? All of our sources seem to think so (I tend to believe them) but it is enough to say it was clearly very bad without need to compare. The broader point, that Sparta was the most enslaved slave society I am aware of, by a long margin, is indictment enough.
