The ratio is different for every state and every tax bracket, but in California, on a married developers salary with a house, we pay something like 17.5% Fed, 9.3% state, and local (property tax) is 1.4376% of the value of your home, which on my salary is something like 5%.
So for us, income and property tax add up to almost 32% of our income.
Home ownership is the big wildcard in that calculation. You could pay nothing to your locality (other than sales taxes) if you don't own a home and instead pay a higher percentage to the feds.*
* - of course, someone owns the home and is paying property taxes, but your personal tax bill doesn't reflect that.
