Would anyone know what these are? The context is Honduras and Central America generally - the displacement of peoples and agricultural issues. Term only occurs once in a short text.
El centro de concentración y organización fue la aldea de Mocoron que pasó de ser una aldea con alrededor de 200 habitantes a un conglomerado de caserillos con unos 30,000 refugiados. Esto generó un impacto ambiental fuerte, por las actividades de deforestación que practicaban los refugiados.

"caserío" and "caserillo" sound exactly the same; the definition of caserío es "un conjunto de casas que no llegan a constituir un pueblo"

Comment: "I think this is more likely than anything, but Michael's comment about "barrio" is also interesting in that it shows how the meaning of this word can be used generally to mean an area smaller than a town."

: since the document refers to displaced peoples, I think [caserillos] refers to a type of house but not a good one. Shack, hut, shelters would work.

I've heard this used in place of "barrio," though in Spanish-speaking sections of New York State....not sure if this will help. Good luck!
