Hardly any - they are very far away. However, a supernova (which would come before a neutron star) could have catastrophic effects on Earth, if it were to happen in our neighborhood (up to a few thousand light years!).

Are all neutron stars also pulsars?
Evidence suggests that all Neutron stars are pulsars or were once pulsars. In theoretical physics; the existence of objects like quark stars, preon stars, or electroweak stars is called into question. These are usually used to explain radio quiet neutron stars; however, far more likely these objects simply do not pulse at any rate in our relative direction.
What do you mean when you say every pulsar is a neutron star but not every neutron star is a pulsar?
All "pulsars" are neutron stars - it's just "we" term pulsars as neutron stars who's orientation towards us shows the beam of electromagnetic radiation. Other neutron stars who's orientation, do not point towards us are not called pulsars, although they exhibit the same characteristics.
Are pulsars found in supernova remnants.?
Yes. All pulsars and neutron stars are the remnants of a supernova explosion.
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation called?
Gamma rays
What neutron star emit pulses of radiation called?
Pulsars and neutron stars emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Are all pulsars neutron stars?
All young neutron stars in reality are "pulsars". However, for a neutron star to be termed a pulsar, it's magnetic axis has to point towards Earth. (So we can see the pulse, even though all young neutron stars have a pulse, they cannot be observed from Earth.)
Are pulsars a kind of neutron star?
Pulsars are not only a kind of neutron star, they are neutron stars. See related question.
Where do pulsars originate from?
The collapse of massive stars - the same as neutron stars.
Flickering neutron stars formed in supernovas?
pulsars
Why are you studying pulsars?
Because I am interested in neutron stars.

Yes. All pulsars and neutron stars are the remnants of a supernova explosion.
Where are pulsars located in space?
Pulsars are located every where around the universe keep in mind pulsars are neutron stars so that means they were formed by large stars that have aged and died out
How are pulsars formed?
Pulsars are rapidly rotating neutron stars that emit beams of electromagnetic energy. Neutron stars form when the core of a massive star collapses and goes supernova leaving behind a neutron star which will begin rotating and releasing energy.
Why are pulsars hot?
Pulsars and neutron stars are hot because of all the residual heat left over in the core of the original star.
Some neutron stars that emit pulses of radiation called?
Gamma rays
