Average Male Inseam-to-Height Ratio?

Does anyone know what the average male inseam-to-height ratio is?
Do manufactures set geometry with this proportion in mind?

My measurements:

70" (177.8cm) Height
32.25" (82cm) Inseam
-------------
46.1% Inseam to Heigh Ratio

I want to know - relative to the male norm for my height - is this short legged or long legged?

Based on the answer to above, which company's geometry would suit me? (Example: I know Lemond is good for relative short legged riders, but I'm not sure what that is, quantifiably.)
