Degenerate Matter

If a particle is somewhat localized, its probability density decays exponentially in position space, but theoretically never reaches 0. So it must overlap with other fermion probability densities to some degree. Do they all require different energy states or does the Pauli exclusion principle not apply with free fermions?
Additionally, are the fermions in neutron stars bound over the whole gravity well?
