  abstract = {{T}he inhabitants of the city of {O}uagadougou, the capital of {B}urkina {F}aso, suffer significant damage every year due to floods, which constitute a major risk for the country. {T}o mitigate the impact of these phenomena, a good understanding of the criteria involved in the vulnerability of populations is necessary.{T}his article sets out to analyse the populations of {O}uagadougou's vulnerability to floods, with the objective of drawing  up and spatially representing the social vulnerability profile of populations. {I}t is part of phase 2 of the {R}aincell {A}frica project, which aims to understand the social vulnerability of {S}ahelian populations to the risks of urban flooding. {T}he study is based on a quantitative approach developed by means of a socio-demographic survey of 2137 households in the city of {O}uagadougou. {S}tatistical processing of the survey data using factor analysis and {H}ierarchical {A}gglomerative {C}lustering revealed eight vulnerability profiles in the city. {T}he spatial distribution of these profiles indicates greater vulnerability in the margins of the city, characterized by unplanned settlements. {T}his high exposure of informal settlements to flooding is linked to socio-demographic characteristics such as the level of education, risky behaviours in terms of urbanization and 

the populations' false perception of danger. {T}hese elements must necessarily be taken into account for better flood management},
