Neutron stars have a density of about 1014 g/cm3, or roughly a million times that of white dwarfs, so that a sugar-cube-sized sample of neutron star would outweigh the human race. Strangely, the higher the mass of a neutron star, the smaller its radius (gravity pulling the contents in ever more tightly).

Because of its small size and high density, a neutron star possesses a surface gravitational field about 2 x 1011 times that of Earth. Neutron stars can also have magnetic fields a million times stronger than the strongest magnetic fields produced on Earth.

All of the data I found on the density of a neutron star are similar to each other. No number totally contradicts another. There are minor differences between the numbers because they are the average densities of the many neutron stars in existence.
