In what sense can the latitude and longitude of my house be called anonymous data?

Ultimately, a map is anonymous data containing lat/lon of everyone's house

Alone, these points are not deanonymizing, it's when there's other data associated.

When such data is sold I'm pretty sure it would be more than just list of coordinates.
