I have seen estimates from historians ranging from under 50% to over 70%. Remember that a lot of people were in monasteries, and there were other clerics. Also, there were the nobility and the middle class.
In many medieval countries, farming was done mostly on manors, where peasant families lived and worked the land. The fields of the manors were divided up into strips, which were either communal or assigned to individual families to farm. They were sections of fields, usually long and relatively narrow.

During the Middle Ages, the lands granted in fiefs were commonly referred to as "manors." These manors typically included agricultural land, peasant villages, and the lord's residence. The feudal system structured these lands, where vassals received manors in exchange for military service and loyalty to their lords. Each manor functioned as an economic unit, supporting the local population and the feudal hierarchy.
