With respect to the neutron stars, nope, I can't remember having seen a binary of those. About where to find NS (and white dwarfs) in general, you have to go up or down beyond the middle plane of the galaxy - in the outer arms it might be enough to get > +/-500ly above/below, further toward the core that will be more toward +/-1000ly and beyond. Also S-stars and some other raritys. Alteratively, maybe you have excluded them from the route finder wink

About the clusters, I don't know the details but it's neither common nor super-rare. As they sliced up the galaxy in cubes and automatically populated them depending on some kind of density function reflecting the arms and such, sometimes the algorithms had a hick-up that resulted in those boxes with such sharp transitions from low to high population. But it's not like you see this every time you cross from one arm to the other or some such, it's still kinda special occasions.
