What was the relationship between the percentage of the population in each estate and the percentage of land owned by that estate?

The relationship between the percentage of the population in each estate and the percentage of land owned by that estate was often starkly unequal, particularly in pre-revolutionary France. The First Estate (clergy) and the Second Estate (nobility) comprised a small percentage of the population but owned a disproportionate amount of land, while the Third Estate (commoners) represented the vast majority of the population yet had limited land ownership. This disparity contributed to social tensions and eventual calls for reform, as the wealthy minority held significant resources and privileges compared to the impoverished majority.
