The issue of risk and the maintenance of people in risk areas is a major concern in the occupation of urban spaces. From the institutional approach to the scientific approach, the definition of risk remains marked by the nature of unpredictability and dangerousness. The current study constitutes an epistemological break in the sociological understanding of risk in the framework of hydrometeorological phenomena. Therefore, how do the changing properties of the status of the head of the family inspired by contact with floods restructure social relations within the social unit of consumption? Starting from an empirical study on floods in the commune 5 on the right bank of the Niger River in Niamey between 2012 and 2018, the status of the head of the family is at the heart of the reflection. Based on a qualitative methodological approach, centred on biographical interviews, this paper puts back at the heart of the scientific debate, the risk of downgrading and loss of preferential position in a given space or social institution.
