There are people who will tell you that's too *high*. Seriously.
A year or two back they started hitting us with these "mold prevention" thingies here.
One of the items was keeping the humidity under 20%. Since I have a weatherstation thingy, I knew that the outside humidity was always over that and the inside was usually 40% or more.
Since they wanted us to *sign* the silly thing I gathered up my courage and basicaly told the manager "no way". (this required courage because I might be risking eviction by doing so).
I also inquired if they were planning on buying me a dehumidifier.
They backed off with a "oh, that's just advice, not rules you have to follow"
Suuuurrre it was. That's why it was phrased as "you must" and required a signature.
But getting back on topic, what's "enough" varies a lot. When I was growing up the humidity inside the house was often 5%. We coped.
