Excited states in ${}^{53}\mathrm{Cr}$ were studied via the ${}^{52}\mathrm{Cr}(d,p\gamma )$ reaction up to the neutron-separation threshold. Proton-$\gamma$ angular correlations and $\gamma$ decay branching ratios were measured in particle-$\gamma$ coincidences between the Super-Enge Split-Pole Spectrograph (SE-SPS) and ${\mathrm{CeBr}}_3$ Array (CeBrA) demonstrator of the John D. Fox Accelerator Laboratory at Florida State University. Previous spin-parity assignments from a $(d,p)$ singles experiment at the SE-SPS are supported and $\gamma$-ray transitions in ${}^{53}\mathrm{Cr}$ are reported. We firmly assign higher-lying excited states to ${}^{53}\mathrm{Cr}$ because overlapping excited states and contaminants could be identified better due to the complementary $\gamma$-decay information. We also correct some of the previously reported excitation energies and present a reanalysis of previously measured ${}^{52}\mathrm{Cr}(d,p){}^{53}\mathrm{Cr}$ angular distributions guided by the complementary $\gamma$-ray information. Based on this reanalysis, the fragmentation of the neutron $2p_{3/2}, 2p_{1/2}, 1f_{5/2}, 1g_{9/2}$, and $2d_{5/2}$ single-particle strengths is reassessed for ${}^{53}\mathrm{Cr}$. A comparison to the corresponding strengths in ${}^{55}\mathrm{Fe}$ is presented.
