My son's house in Placitas, NM (~ 20 miles north of Albuquerque)
at around 6,000 feet elevation has only swamp coolers on the roof,
ducted through the house. Humidity there is very low, mostly year
around, and they work fairly well. They do add considerably to the
indoor humidity and the air seems "clammy" to me. Cost for the
electricity to run them is far lower than that for A/C and now that
he has installed a solar power generating system, his cost for power
has had a major reduction. He also has a large swimming pool that
is also heated (when necessary) by solar and when temperatures
infrequently get excessively very hot, everybody can hit the pool
to cool !

I lived in Santa Fe, NM for 19 years. In many neighborhoods every house had a swamp cooler. I had them on a commercial building I owned. The newer more expensive neighborhoods used air conditioners. Since the outside humidity was around 10 to 15% the extra humidity in a swamp cooled house was welcome.
