If we didnt run a dehumidifier the humidity in my house would stay above 80% most of the year. We have a decently large dehumidifier and by itself it cant get it below 45%. But 45% is much better then 80+% so it could be worse

Yes of course but you have humans in the house who exhale H2O all the time. A datacenter doesn't have many of those (per square metre or foot or whatever you measure your datacenters in)

The vast majority of it definitely comes from the area in which I live.

Temperature is the more important factor. Even if the ambient air is at 100% humidity, if it is very cold, the relative humidity after heating it will be very low.
