Differential cross sections for elastic and inelastic proton scattering on ${}_{}{}^{94}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$ were measured between 6.0- and 8.5-MeV bombarding energy. The decay of analogs of states in ${}_{}{}^{95}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$ to the ground state and the 0.92 MeV ($2^{+}$), 1.30 MeV ($0^{+}$), 1.66 MeV ($2^{+}$), and 2.06 MeV ($3^{-}$) states in ${}_{}{}^{94}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$ was investigated. In the analysis of the inelastic proton groups, the enhancement of the Hauser-Feshbach background, as well as the interference of the resonance amplitude with direct nuclear excitation were taken into account. Spins, spectroscopic factors, and possible weak-coupling configurations in the parent system are derived and compared with results previously obtained for ${}_{}{}^{91}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$ and ${}_{}{}^{93}{}_{}{}^{}\mathrm{Zr}$.
